Pmconfprog1 (Page 1) Personalized Medicine: Promises and Prospects A Conference Hosted By HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL – PARTNERS HEALTHCARE CENTER FOR GENETICS AND GENOMICS November 3-4, 2005 The Conference Center Harvard Medical School Boston, Massachusetts Conference Program November 3, 2005 Dear Colleague, It is my pleasure to welcome you to Personalized Medicine: Promises and Prospects. The past few years have witnessed a revolution in the understanding of health and dis- ease, brought on by the sequencing of the human genome and the creation of a map of human genetic variation. It is now becoming possible to translate this knowledge to patient care. The ability to use genetic and genomic information in diagnosis, prognosis and treatment has been given a name: personalized medicine. The goal of personalized medicine is to provide the right diagnosis and treatment to the right patient at the right time at the right cost. Hosted by the Harvard Medical School – Partners Healthcare Center for Genetics and Genomics (HPCGG) the conference will focus on the perspectives of Government, Pharmaceutical, Academic, and Diagnostic leaders as well as those of healthcare providers and payers in implementing the new paradigm of personalized medicine. The program will feature several personalized medicine case studies on topics such as lung cancer and cardiovascular disease and will highlight the information technology infra- structure needed to make personalized medicine a reality. The tone for the conference will be one that will explore what happens "on the ground" when personalized medicine is put into practice, and what that means for caregivers, patients and payers, as well as for the industries that develop products for personalized medicine. Formed in 2001, the HPCGG is a joint venture between Harvard Medical School and Partners Healthcare, including its founding members Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. The Center’s mission is to integrate genetics and genomics into the practice of medicine. It is involved in the full spectrum of genetics and genomics activities, including basic research, clinical research, core services for researchers, molecular-based diagnostic testing, clinical care and training and education. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the members of our organizing committee for all of their hard work in planning the conference; our speakers for their willingness to share their thoughts and plans on this exciting topic; and the program’s sponsors, whose support allows today’s conference to become a reality. This is truly an exciting time for medicine and I am delighted you have decided to join us. Sincerely, Raju Kucherlapati, Ph.D. Scientific Director of Harvard-Partners Center for Genetics and Genomics Sponsors The Harvard – Partners Center for Genetics and Genomics would like to thank the sponsors of this event for their generous support.

  • Anatomy and Atrophy of Medical Paternalism Robert F
    Anatomy and Atrophy of Medical Paternalism Robert F. Graboyes and Eric Topol MERCATUS RESEARCH Robert F. Graboyes and Eric Topol, “Anatomy and Atrophy of Medical Paternalism” (Mercatus Research, Mercatus Center at George Mason University, Arlington, VA, 2017). ABSTRACT Since Ancient Greece, a guiding principle of Western medicine has been pater- nalism—the idea that doctors have intrinsically superior insights, patients should defer to their edicts, and this asymmetry is a desirable state of affairs. In the 20th century, new medical knowledge and technologies accumulated at an unprecedented rate, and medical paternalism arguably reached its zenith. Now, however, new technologies are eroding the doctor’s privileged role by deconstructing, digitizing, and democratizing medical knowledge. Digital technologies and other breakthroughs offer unprecedented opportunities to save lives and cut costs. Along with self-interest, however, selective strains of risk aversion, technophobia, and egalitarianism among physicians are gener- ating resistance to the new reality. This article catalogs the motives for and impact of medical paternalism, the reasons for its decline, and potential policy responses that would ease the transition. JEL codes: I11, I13, I18, K2 Keywords: health care, healthcare, medicine, physician, doctors, consumer sov- ereignty, licensure, certification, regulation, prices, technology, digital health The Mercatus Center gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the John Templeton Foundation for research on healthcare policy in the United States.

    Zoom On: Dr. Eric Topol, Translational Science Leader Dr Eric Topol ******@***scripps.edu Cardiologist and Geneticist, Directs - Scripps Translational Science Institute, La Jolla, CA, USA Chief Academic Officer - Scripps Health Eric Topol, MD is a cardiologist and geneticist who directs the Scripps Translational Science Institute (La Jolla, CA, USA). He is also the Chief Academic Officer at Scripps Health, and a senior consultant at the Scripps Clinic’s Division of Cardiovascular Diseases. He is a professor of genomics in the Department of Molecular and Experimental Medicine, where his research focuses on individualised medicine and the interface of genomics and technology. In 2012, Dr. Topol was named the Most Influential Physician Executive in Healthcare by Modern Healthcare for taking on the topic of how big data will revolutionise hospitals and healthcare in general. In his 2012 book The Creative Destruction of Medicine, Dr. Topol addresses the topic of how healthcare stands to benefit from technology and the wireless age. The tools which are increasingly used by physicians and patients alike, such as mobile phones and pocket computers, are not only useful for their ability to connect doctors and patients. The greatest potential exists in their generation of health information that will serve researchers in ways that data from clinical trials cannot. Population-based studies are limited in the ways they can predict how patients respond to disease therapies, but personalised medicine that ultimately includes genomic sequencing and printing technology will change the way patients are diagnosed and treated. Dr. Topol has been elected to the National Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Medicine, and has received numerous awards including the European Society of Cardiology’s Andreas Gruntzig Award and the Thompson Scientific Award “Doctor of the Decade”.

Dr. John Phillips, the only internist among the four founders, was the first chief of the Division of Medicine, then called the Medical Department. He was a true family physician who saw medicine begin to move away from house calls and toward an of fice-based practice during the eight years between 1921 and his untimely death in 1929 at age 50. Nevertheless, he continued to tr eat patients with diverse disorders and make house calls, often spending his entire weekend visiting patients in their homes.

  • COVID-19 Variants Update Background
    COVID-19 Variants Update Background: I have been writing about COVID-19 since late December 2019, before it even had a name. Many times, the information in the articles was just that, informational – something we, at FirstWatch, thought you should know. Other times, I/we thought it was more critical, more crucial, that you really "got" the information. We shared information from others, again viewed as critical, as you prepared for your personal and/or professional response to this new viral disease. FirstWatch has done that with the utmost care to remain true to the science available on the subject as well as the principles of infection prevention & control, while also considering our mostly First Responder audience and what we know about that large group. Specifically, that First Responders literally respond into the thick of it, without a lot of intel, except what the PSAP Operators and Dispatchers have been able to determine and share. EMS and other First Responders who provide assistance to anyone who has a medical problem, even if they don't know it yet, and even if it's not part of the reason you are there, puts you in a position of risk not seen in hospitals and other medical facilities. That's why we sometimes recommended more diligence, such as assuming everyone may be sick, until you have assessed the situation fully. The atmosphere you may go into may be charged with germs in droplets, aerosols, and on hard & soft surfaces and require more protective PPE, disinfection, and caution. We identified COVID-19 as being transmitted by aerosols over a year before the WHO and CDC formally did.
