SYNOPSIS

Despite concerted efforts from stakeholders across the healthcare system, challenges persist in delivering precision medicine reliably, efficiently, and cost-effectively. Because critical challenges manifest at the intersections between stakeholder—or are inherent to the information systems that connect them—no individual stakeholder can solve them alone. Instead, active collaboration is required.

At the 2018 Summit, the following key themes emerged:

1. Frameworks and transparency around test quality and value remain limited

2. Data has replaced oil as the world’s most valuable resource

3. The promise of precision cures is becoming a reality, but barriers remain

4. Providers still need genetics incorporated into their workflow

5. Consumers are driving the market and forcing a health system response

6. Disruptors are coming from outside of healthcare
