Realizing the Promise of Precision Medicine: The Role of Patient Data, Mobile Technology, and Consumer Engagement

I recommend this book for any HIT professional and for clinicians wanting to understand the potential of precision medicine. The authors greatly expand the relatively common and narrow view of personalized medicine and discuss the vast ecosystem potentially contributing to it – from genomic to patient provided data. In the process, they touch on almost all aspects of the current HIT environment. In each area, they pack an amazing level of depth while being very practical and humble in their recommendations. They provide a very accurate assessment of the current level of adoption and of the key national initiatives. It offers both a purely clinical perspective and a vision for how technologies should be leveraged going forward.
