@patientchat T1. My experience with #PrecisionMedicine has been as a provider, but with minority and underserved population. Many of these groups have little knowledge about this regimen and are not always given this option. #patientchat #disparities #communitypractices

Mary MACK @MaryOCMack
T1. As a patient with a rare disease, I am concerned about being priced out of therapies. Clinical trial phase 3 is starting for cardiolaminopathy #patientchat
Christina Lizaso @btrfly12
T1: As a moderate risk previvor, I still feel in no-mans-land as the science isn't there yet to give me a precise surveillance plan. Hopeful, but #precisionmedicine not doing much for me yet. #patientchat
Vera Rulon FAHIMA @vrulon
@NCPDP I've been incorporating some alternatives as well. It would be important for our doctors to consider what works for individuals (only only generalized data) #patientchat
Geeky Fox @TechKitsune

T5. We have to show payers the cost benefit of individualized care and that precision care can lower overall costs for each patient. Because we haven't been doing it fully the startup will be pricey comparing, but after its norm it will cost less per patient overall #patientchat https://t.co/FTO0kaLBbg

T5: Great question. Value & outcomes are key. Is that enough to convince? One would think that MCR (Medical Cost Ratio) would improve if the right med is given to the right pt VS the trial & error approach #patientchat
