2019 PCORI Annual Meeting Plenary Session - What's Right for Me? Practical Approaches to Personalized Medicine
- -
How can research help people make health care decisions that are individual to them? This Opening Plenary session will review a few select PCORI-funded studies to help highlight PCORI’s effort to tailor healthcare choices to the needs of each person, based on their personal characteristics, biology, history, and preferences. This includes the adoption of the latest technological advances in screening for health conditions; making treatment decisions using tools that help predict outcome success; and using individualized plans to help improve care satisfaction.
