Therapeutic Optimization as Part of the Precision Medicine Paradigm

Abstract

The statement in the 2015 State of the Union that most medical treatments are designed for the average patient initiated the rollout of the Precision Medicine Initiative, a broad research effort to revolutionize how health and treatment of disease can be improved. Therapeutic Optimization can be viewed as the continuum of improving practice-changing paradigms across the spectrum of disease-specific pharmacologic interventions, and as such forms an important keystone of precision medicine.
