Penn Medicine CIO weighs in on precision medicine

As the precision medicine movement gains speed in healthcare, Philadelphia-based Penn Medicine is looking to take advantage of all it has to offer. Its efforts have undoubtedly been noteworthy. In January 2016, it founded the Penn Center for Precision Medicine, which focuses on precision medicine development and implementation efforts. The center has its own PCPM Accelerator Fund, which supports projects that test unique approaches to how precision medicine impacts patient care. In a phone interview, Penn Medicine senior vice president and CIO Michael Restuccia discussed the health system’s approach to the topic.
