Over the next few weeks, we will be doing a deep dive on one breakout session from each track. Mayo Clinic has invested 40 million dollars in genetic sequencing and AI to determine precise dosages and prescriptions for high-cost claimants with 328 medical conditions. Genetic sequencing allows for accurate prescription management, leading to significant cost savings and improved health outcomes. This innovative approach is now being introduced to select self-funded employers in Iowa. HR managers will gain insights into the reasons behind specialty medication prescriptions, the potential of pharmacogenomics to transform prescription patterns, and the cost savings achievable through accurate prescription pairing.
