Popis: The aims of the study are to assess adoption of a pharmacogenomic-enriched comprehensive medication management program in a self-insured employer setting and to better understand medication risks that affect employees.Employees were identified to be at high risk of medication mismanagement and were subsequently provided with a program and process to improve their health. DNA testing, a clinical decision support system, and pharmacists were used to identify medication safety and effectiveness issues and to recommend appropriate changes.A total of 10.6% of the invited employees enrolled in the program. Actionable recommendations were suggested by pharmacists for 85.8% of employees who completed the program, averaging 5.2 recommendations per person.Implementation of a PGx + CMM program in a self-insured employer setting is feasible, detects risks in prescription regimens, and offers opportunities to improve medication management and reduce the burden of healthcare expenses.
