P4 Health — Personalized Health Care
In what will result in more precise, cost-effective and higher quality health care for patients, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center is revolutionizing medicine and catalyzing the transformation of healthcare delivery from its current reactive mode to a proactive, P4 mode. P4 Health utilizes advances in genomics and molecular diagnostics discoveries and provides predictive information that is necessary to tailor personalized disease management approaches for each individual, based on genetic, environmental, behavioral and cultural factors. Therapeutics and health management tools are being developed to help prevent disease instead of merely treating the symptoms. P4 Health also promotes health maintenance and wellness and engages consumers to actively own and participate in their healthcare decisions.
