The practice of medicine stands at the threshold of a transformation from its current focus on the treatment of disease events to an emphasis on enhancing health, preventing disease and personalizing care to meet each individual's specific health needs. Personalized health care is a new and strategic approach that is driven by personalized health planning empowered by personalized medicine tools, which are facilitated by advances in science and technology. These tools improve the capability to…

TLDR
Personalised medicine provides the basement for an ultimate paradigm shift of modern medicine, away from a "reactive" medicine to a more "proactive" and personalised health care, so-called "P4 medicine".
Misidentification of Patients in the Abstract and Author Affiliations.
TLDR
Improvements the ACA has made by expanding coverage may not result in better health until significant progress is made in value-based reimbursement, and reimbursement reform is needed to achieve this.
Personalized medicine: challenges and opportunities for translational bioinformatics.
TLDR
Barriers to implementing genomics applications and current progress toward overcoming barriers are discussed, lessons learned from early experiences of institutions engaged in personalized medicine are described, and example areas for translational bioinformatics research inquiry are provided.
Opportunities and Challenges for the Future of Personalized Oral Healthcare
TLDR
The dental profession will transition to one that is more focused on disease prevention, risk assessment, and early diagnosis as the predictive biomarkers that assist in the diagnosis of and treatment of common diseases are discovered and deployed chairside.

Preparing the Next Generation of Oral Healthcare Professionals for a Personalized Oral Healthcare Environment
TLDR
Dental schools must consider developing career paths and new work force models that will accelerate the development of a prospective oral healthcare environment, increase access to care, and insure that dentistry maintains its leadership role in fostering optimal oral health.
Patient engagement as a risk factor in personalized health care: a systematic review of the literature on chronic disease
TLDR
This review suggests patient engagement should be quantified as part of a comprehensive health risk appraisal given its apparent value in helping individuals to effectively self-manage chronic disease.
The evolution of personalized healthcare and the pivotal role of European regions in its implementation.
TLDR
The conceptual foundations for PM and personalized healthcare are reviewed, and their evolution through scientific publications where a clear definition and the features of the different formulations are identifiable are identifiable.
