The Impact On Personalized Medicine
The impact on personalized medicine depends on patient understanding of test and screening. Patient with the knowledge of genome and family history of gene related disorder will look for preventive screening, but environment, life style and economic factors play a role in individual well-being as well. To integrate knowledge of genomics into health care, clinicians have to study how to diffuse genetic and genomic information into nursing practice to improve the quality of care (McCormick & Calzone 2016) Education for health care provider and patient on genetic is vital to avoid risk of misinterpreting genetic results due to poor understanding of genetic principles. It can increase the potential for misguided use of genomic medicine, as
