HOUSTON, June 4, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Golden Helix Foundation and the Pharmacogenomics Access & Reimbursement Coalition (PARC) will co-present the inaugural Pharmacogenomics Access & Reimbursement Symposium (PARS) at the National Academy of Sciences Building on October 8, 2020 in Washington D.C. to define opportunities to expand patient access to personalized medicine. Public- and private- sector members across healthcare will assemble to develop a path forward through discussions of best practices, improved economic evaluation and strategic alignment. "Since genetic variation impacts medication responses, it is important to leverage technologies that can translate genetic information into care tailored for each patient. Market access is a critical step in achieving widespread adoption of personalized medicine." – Sara Rogers, PARC Co-Chairman and Director at the American Society of Pharmacovigilance. The symposium program includes speakers from industry, government agencies, payer organizations, health systems and health policy organizations. Thought leaders will explore the newest developments in health technology assessment, health economics and value-based payment strategies for pharmacogenomics. In addition to convening decision-makers from around the world, the symposium will develop solutions that identify actionable ways that stakeholders can work together to democratize personalized medicine. "Defining the value of personalized medicine interventions is of utmost importance to expedite the incorporation of these innovative healthcare solutions in routine clinical practice that would directly impact patient care and quality of life." – Christina Mitropoulou, The Golden Helix Foundation Managing Director, Executive Board member and Principal Investigator of the Ubiquitous Pharmacogenomics Consortium. Organizations across health care have partnered to support the symposium, including Intermountain Precision Genomics, Medical Device Innovation Consortium (MDIC) and Pharmacogenomics Research Network (PGRN). Stakeholders are encouraged to join the discussion by registering to participate at http://www.parcoalition.org/symposium. A live webcast will be provided to accommodate attendees who prefer to participate remotely.
