Improving the Odds of Success for Precision Medicine Using the Social Ecological Model.
Year: 2019
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The concept of precision medicine aims to provide additional context to patient data for healthcare providers A decade after the HITECH act of 2009, the state of EHRs can be considered a mixed bag. Increased levels of physician burnout have been attributed to the impact EHRs have had on traditional patient and provider interactions. In order for precision medicine to be allowed to establish a foothold, it must demonstrate the ability to improve clinical outcomes. One path to achieving this is by improving health behavior, which is a difficult task. In this paper, the case is presented for using the social ecological model to help shift health behaviors with precision medicine.
