US Orthopedic Alliance Selects 2bPrecise To Accelerate Precision Medicine Program

By News

Partnership will enable member orthopedic surgeons to identify potential drug-gene interactions to improve the patient experience and outcomes

RALEIGH, N.C. and LAKE FOREST, Calif. – May 24, 2021US Orthopedic Alliance (USOA) has selected 2bPrecise to provide its precision medicine platform to USOA’s network of more than 100 orthopedic surgeons. The 2bPrecise pharmacogenomics module initially will be rolled out to four member practices over the coming months, equipping USOA physicians with the ability to effectively identify potentially dangerous drug-gene interactions so that patients receive the safest, most effective care possible.

“We recognize that precision medicine represents a new standard in health care,” said Rick Salas, CEO of USOA. “We’re committed to delivering the services, technologies and infrastructure orthopedic surgeons need so they can factor patient genetic profiles into their diagnostic and treatment decisions. It truly is a win for both the patient and the provider.” Providers offering precision medicine programs often achieve a competitive advantage over other practices in their service areas, he adds.

The 2bPrecise platform will deliver workflow, data management and clinical decision functionality to USOA providers ordering pharmacogenomic tests (PGx). Specifically, doctors can leverage test results to make informed decisions about powerful pain medications, anticoagulants, antiemetics or other drugs they may prescribe for patients.

Salas continued, “Core to our mission is a commitment to providing orthopedists with specialty-specific services to manage and grow their practices while enhancing the patient experience. Physician members benefit from USOA’s business intelligence solutions, including revenue cycle management, contracting, risk management and value-based care services such as infrastructure, technology and data analytics.”

“We are delighted to work with USOA to bring precision medicine and other genomic insights into the orthopedic workflow”, said Assaf Halevy, CEO and co-founder of 2bPrecise. “USOA has demonstrated its strong leadership in this area and is committed to ensuring its physician members are successful while improving the health and lives of patients. Together, we will help accelerate a dimensional change in how safe orthopedic care is delivered.”

2bPrecise and Murfreesboro Medical Clinic and SurgiCenter to Present at AMIA 2021 Clinical Informatics Conference on Pharmacogenomics

By News

Leader in precision medicine solutions and multispecialty clinic customer to discuss the promise of genetic data at the point of care

RALIEGH, NC – May 17, 2021 – 2bPrecise, a leader in precision medicine solutions, will present on the value of pharmacogenomics (PGx) at the AMIA 2021 Clinical Informatics Conference. The company will be joined by longtime customer Murfreesboro Medical Clinic and SurgiCenter (MMC) for the virtual presentation, “Quantitative and Qualitative Outcomes Using IT-Supported Pharmacogenomics at the Point of Care.” Together, 2bPrecise and MMC will explore ways health IT tools and PGx testing can improve medication safety, reduce adverse drug events and accelerate therapeutic value for patients.

“Pharmacogenomics, or how drugs interact with a patient’s genes, is incredibly valuable when it comes to determining the best medication for a patient,” said Dr. Joel Diamond, a practicing physician at Handelsman Family Practice in Pittsburgh, PA and chief medical officer at 2bPrecise. “Genetic profiles can eliminate trial-and-error prescribing by ensuring medications are safe and effective from the outset. As an organization on the forefront of precision medicine, we are thrilled to showcase at AMIA and share now MMC is leveraging our tools to better understand a patient’s genetic data and provide better care.”

Dr. Diamond and MMC Chief Medical Informatics Officer and President Dr. Nicholas Cote will draw from their successful implementations of PGx programs to explore the role IT plays in giving providers better insight into patients’ genetic data to help inform clinical decisions. The duo will also discuss the obstacles commonly encountered when initiating point-of-care precision medicine programs, lessons learned and best practices from implementing these programs within their own practices, and measurable outcomes the organizations have experienced.

“Leveraging genetic data to identify how patients will metabolize certain medications is a critical step in ensuring patients receive high-value care,” said Dr. Cote. “Powerful precision medicine solutions can give providers the necessary support to make care decisions with certainty. We look forward to presenting at AMIA and sharing our successes and real-world experiences with colleagues who might be considering similar programs.”

Drs. Diamond and Cote’s session, “Quantitative and Qualitative Outcomes Using IT-Supported Pharmacogenomics at the Point of Care,” will take place virtually Thursday, May 20, 2021 from 1:00–2:00 PM ET.
