The PMC's report offers these conclusions: "Personalized medicine offers significant short- and long-term benefits, especially for chronic and complex diseases. Payment and reimbursement policies should not discourage interventions that may raise short-term costs but improve clinical/ cost value over time. Policies that recognize the principles of personalized medicine will allow physicians to individualize treatment plans for patients through the early diagnosis of disease, target treatments to optimize clinical outcomes, and prevent unnecessary hospitalizations and care, thus reducing long-term costs. "Innovators are responsible for developing the collective evidence to justify the contention that personalized medicine can improve outcomes while controlling costs. Except in the case of some individual products, to date they have not proven that contention. When they do, our argument will be more compelling."
