Precision medicine 
Precision medicine is an approach that integrates clinical and molecular information to understand 
the biological basis of disease. This information can be obtained by converting DNA into data 
through a process called genome sequencing. Targeted therapies are tailored to the genetic makeup 
of individual patients so genomic testing is required to ascertain the most effective therapy before it 
is administered. This understanding of the relationship between a drug and an individual's genes 
enables doctors to administer the right drug for the right patient at the right dose, first time – leading 
to better outcomes and reduced adverse effects.
Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology refers to microscopic technology that is of the scale of between 1 to 100 
nanometers (a sheet of newspaper is about 100,000 nanometers thick). Due to their microscopic 
size, nanoparticles can easily travel around the human body in the blood stream. Nanoparticles are 
usually composed of biological-based nanomachines or simple material nanostructures which have 
already been shown to assist in the delivery of anti-cancer drugs and to reduce toxicity. 
Medical researchers are also investigating the potential to use microscopic robots called nanobots, 
which can be preprogrammed to perform tasks inside the human body. Nanobots consumed in the 
form of a pill or injection could even seek out and destroy cancer cells or perform surgical tasks 
internally.
Pharmacists’ role 
Pharmacists seeking to further understand their role in this value-driven system can access a 
program recently launched by PQA called EPIQ (Educating Pharmacists In Quality). This 
complimentary online continuing education program is designed to train practicing pharmacists, 
health professionals, and student pharmacists to measure, improve, and report quality of care in 
pharmacy practice. Managing the quality of medication use is a fundamental component of ensuring 
optimal patient care, and pharmacists are an integral part of the solution to meet payers’ quality 
needs. Leveraging pharmacy services to help health plans have an impact on quality metrics is an 
opportunity for pharmacists to serve as a critical member of an integrated health care team.
