Abstract

Introduction

The promise of personalized medicine is having a profound impact on the healthcare industry. It promises to change the way healthcare is delivered and how drugs and diagnostics are developed. Pharma companies are still worried. They do not understand how this area will play out and are risk-averse to working in the brave new world of RxDx regulation. In addition, the ability to mine large databases for clinical, genetic, and prescription drug information must be balanced against an individual's rights of privacy-yet another issue that must be resolved before the widespread use of personalized healthcare becomes a reality. In this report, we discuss business models, strategies, and opportunities from the perspective of multiple stakeholders.

Get the Answers You Need to Shape Your Strategy
  • Fundamental questions remain about the advantages of a personalized medicine business model. What is the return on investment in personalized medicine? What is needed to successfully integrate drug and test development? What dealmaking strategies are appropriate and when?
  • Medco senior vice president, fi nance and chief fi nancial offi cer Rich Rubino says his company's strategy "goes far beyond the cost savings of the script itself, but ultimately down the road, receiving revenues associated with the signifi cant cost savings on the medical side that we could generate." What is the personalized medicine advantage for PBMs? How can the existing PBM income model be extended to generate income by reducing overall healthcare costs? What assets do PBMs control that can be used to validate personalized medicine concepts?
  • Preparing the healthcare system for personalized medicine is a major undertaking. Why is physician education critical for translating personalized medicine from the lab to the clinic? What tools can be developed to help physicians understand and embrace personalized RxDx products in their clinical practice?
  • Personalized medicine offers great potential to improve patient outcome and reduce overall healthcare costs, but it also holds the potential for personal medical information to be exploited in unintended ways. What is the U.S. Congress doing to protect the security and privacy of personal information? How do the American people feel about electronic health records? Which advocacy groups and states are taking a leading role in trying to resolve privacy and security issues?
