Have you ever wondered why some patients have a reaction to a medication and others do not? Researchers are finding out that our genetic code has a lot to do with how we react to medication. Pharmacogenomic testing is becoming more readily available due to current research. This type of testing is able to detect how certain medications may or may not affect patients depending on their specific DNA  (National Library Of Medicine, National Institutes Of Health, U. S., 2020).  Through research, scientists have determined that specific drug uptake, drug breakdown, and drug receptors are determined by an indidivual's genetic makeup (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2018). This new innovation is astonishing; each person actively absorbs, distributes, and metabolizes medications differently. Pharmacogenomic testing has the potential to save time and money and keep patients safe from unnecessary adverse drug reactions.

Provider are able to prescribe precise medication dosages to patients.

Specific medication that are beneficial to women DNA, not just a mans DNA.

# data[].attributes.body
Patients could potentially have decreased side effects.

# data[].attributes.body
Further research could positively impact many patients and increase the medication list size to include many of the medication we prescribe daily.

# data[].attributes.body
At this time only a small list of medication are available for testing.

# data[].attributes.body
Not all providers are knowledgeable about the genetic testing available or how to implement the new technology.

# data[].attributes.body
Research is still new with limited information, making it challenging to get providers on board.

Louis would be ready and willing to dive into any new territory. She would exhibit the readiness to learn all about the new innovation. Putting all her energy to finding the new research and knowledge  (Gallup, 2020). Louis would be a great fit for the team to help expand our knowledge on any subject needed.

Every team should have a Pablo.  Having this team member only provides the necessary support to get through every moment of creating an new innovation.  Instilling positivity throughout every aspect of our lives gives us the energy needed to survive (Gallup, 2020).

Shelia's strength of strategic planning would bring an immense amount of organization to the innovation (Gallup, 2020).  Having a well thought out plan that involved many different avenues could potentially reduce that amount of errors or dead ends.

Alice would be beneficial to my team because her drive would bringing an energy to get the job done (Gallup, 2020). Her work ethic of begin driven would keep the task on time, meeting dead lines with ease.

Multiple health disparities with the patient making it harder to narrow medication reaction due to the long list of medication the patient is currently on.

I fully support this new innovation. This innovation gives us just a small glimpse of what the future holds on how we will treat and help patients based on their genetic code. Providing specific care to patients that aids in their health, potentially decreases side effects, and potentially provides a more precise therapeutic effect would be highly beneficial to our patient populations. Implementing this new technology will allow providers to better treat and manage their patient plan of care based on their specific genetic code. This innovation reminds us that not every patient is the same, so why would we treat them the exactly the same way. As we continue to broaden our knowledge on the usefulness of our specific genetic codes, we will increase our ability to stay healthy and live longer, healthier lives in the future.
