Pharmacy (Basel). 2023 Sep 14;11(5):146. doi: 10.3390/pharmacy11050146.

Abstract

As healthcare continues to embrace the concept of person- and patient-centered care, pharmacogenomics, patient experience, and medication experience will continue to play an increasingly important role in care delivery. This review highlights the intersection between these concepts and provides considerations for patient-centered medication and pharmacogenomic experiences. Elements at the patient, provider, and system level can be considered in the discussion, supporting the use of pharmacogenomics, with components of the patient and medication experience contributing to the mitigation of barriers surrounding patient use and the valuation of pharmacogenomic testing.

Keywords: medication experience; patient experience; patient-centered care; pharmacogenomics.
