An online survey by Health Catalyst found 59 percent of respondents did not think precision medicine would play a significant role in their organizations in the next five years. Non-academic hospitals and health systems appear even less likely to adopt precision medicine: 68 percent of respondents from these types of organizations said precision medicine would not play a significant role in their organizations in the next five years.
However, 71 percent of respondents from academic medical centers said precision medicine will play a significant role in their organizations in the next five years.
“This survey shows that leaders in academic medicine are already moving to adopt precision medicine, but the rest of healthcare has a lot of catching up to do,” said David Crockett, PhD, senior director of research and predictive analytics for Health Catalyst.
