Integrate personalized medicine into clinical practice to improve patient safety

Abstract Medical practice is based on the experience of practitioners and on learned medical knowledge. This knowledge is based on studies of patient's population. Modern medicine is facing a variety of clinical forms and also variable patients’ responses to treatment. Pharmacogenomics has brought insights to this variability and has led to the development of personalized medicine. The adoption of personalized medicine is slowed down by a number of technical and methodology barriers. The concept of personalized medicine should not be only limited to genetics but must reuse all patient information to get the most suitable patient profile. In this paper we present a methodology for the integration of personalized medicine into clinical practice.
