Summary

This course will summarize how to develop a clinical pharmacogenetic service, test and reimburse for pharmacogenetic results, and design electronic and written documentation.


Objectives:

Laboratory Testing in Clinical Pharmacogenetics: How to Choose a Commercial Laboratory

      • Compare and contrast approaches to clinical laboratory testing in pharmacogenomics.
      • Explain practice-based differences between panel-based testing as compared with testing individual genes for pharmacogenetic recommendations.
      • List criteria for evaluating commercial pharmacogenetic testing laboratories.
      • Identify essential information needed when interpreting commercial laboratory reports in pharmacogenetics.

Advancing Clinical Implementation of Pharmacogenetics: Progress, Needs, and Opportunities

      • Summarize current national landscape and trends for clinical pharmacogenetics implementation in various practice settings.
      • Compare approaches to genetic testing and patient care that may be used in clinical implementation.
      • List steps for developing a new clinical pharmacogenetics patient care service.
      • Identify factors that influence the successful development of clinical pharmacogenetics services.

Clinical Laboratory Testing and Reimbursement in Pharmacogenetics

      • Describe laboratory testing and reimbursement models for pharmacogenetic testing.
      • Compare and contrast various strategies and methods for pharmacogenetic testing and reimbursement in clinical practice.
      • Summarize reimbursement challenges in precision medicine and strategies for overcoming these challenges.
      • Determine appropriate use of CPT coding for pharmacogenetic testing.

Electronic and Written Documentation in Clinical Pharmacogenetics: How, When, and Why?

      • Discuss the role of electronic health record in implementing clinical pharmacogenetics.
      • Summarize current initatives to improve integration of genomic data into electronic health record.
      • Identify barriers to implementing changes to the electronic health record in pharmacogenetics implementation and strategies to overcome these barriers in practice.

Credit Reporting

      • The University of Florida College of Pharmacy will report CPE credit to CPE Monitor and CE Broker when applicable. If you would like a paper statement of credit, you may print it from your NABP e-profile.
      • All pharmacists and pharmacy technicians maintain their own license and/or certification and it is their responsibility to follow up with the Office of Continuing Education at the University of Florida if any CE credit discrepancies are found.
      • It is at the University’s discretion to award or deny credit to a late claiming participant (i.e. after 60 days of the participant engaging in a CPE activity) as it is the University’s CE activity and the provider needs to ensure the requirements necessary for credit are successfully completed.
      • The University may request access to CPE Monitor® if the activity in question occurred within the previous 6 months and with an appropriate reason for access, i.e. power outage, etc.
