The placement of clinical pharmacists at the nexus of functional pharmacogenomics and in specialty pharmacy care makes good sense.

Dose optimization strategies offer a potentially valid, clinically based intervention in which payers can realize a direct drug cost savings, and indirect medical cost avoidance.

As the industry focuses more on value-based care, predictive modeling allows pharmacies to shift their services from a one-size-fits-all approach to a personalized, high-touch strategy.
