PGx Testing
Pharmacogenomic testing can provide valuable insights, but applying those results consistently at the point of care can be challenging. Clinical decision support tools such as YouScript help clinicians incorporate PGx results into prescribing workflows by evaluating genetic factors alongside medications and other potential interactions.
Research has shown that combining PGx testing with clinical decision support can improve clinical outcomes, helping providers make more informed medication decisions for individual patients.
Selecting a high-quality pharmacogenomic testing partner is an important part of the process, and healthcare organizations have many options to consider.
For organizations seeking a testing solution, our partner, AccessDx Laboratory, offers comprehensive pharmacogenomic testing services. Providers may choose to work with AccessDx or continue using their preferred laboratory.
Patients who received pharmacogenomic testing using the YouScript clinical decision support tool experienced 52% fewer 60-day rehospitalizations compared with standard care.1
