Johns Hopkins Medicine and Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, both based in Baltimore, are teaming up to advance precision medicine, according to Healthcare IT News.
Here are five insights:
1. The two institutions will integrate data analysis and systems engineering to enhance precision medicine, and boost healthcare delivery.
2. Johns Hopkins will also open eight precision medicine centers this year, emphasizing heart failure, genetics, prostate cancer and other conditions.
3. These precision medicine centers will collect scientific data, which providers will use to enhance treatments and patient outcomes.
4. The Johns Hopkins inHealth program will also gather patient information, including family history.
5. The Johns Hopkins Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare will also contribute to the cause, researching ways to boost healthcare efficiency, effectiveness and consistency.
