SEATTLE (PRWEB)

ActX, an industry leader in precision medicine, has joined the Epic App Orchard marketplace. The addition of the ActX Genomic Service provides Epic customers with an option to access genomics in everyday patient care using a sophisticated decision support platform.

ActX delivers clinically actionable insights that facilitate personalized prescribing and actionable risk management based on the patient’s unique genetic profile, all within the provider’s workflow. Medication orders are checked in the background against the patient’s genetics, and the physician is alerted if a medication is likely to be ineffective, cause side effects, or need a dosing adjustment. Directly in the patient chart, providers will have access to their patients’ genomic profiles, offering insight into drug genomic interactions, hereditary risks, and carrier status. Having an integrated patient genomic profile enables providers to proactively tailor care plans to the individual.

“We are excited to be joining Epic’s App Orchard marketplace, making it easier for health systems to find and integrate the ActX Genomic Service,” said Andrew Ury, M.D., ActX CEO. “ActX allows patients to benefit from genomics by getting the right medication the first time, and to receive pro-active care to avoid actionable risks, all built into the provider’s workflow.”

More than 20,000 providers are helping their patients receive better care through ActX. Our goal is to make genomics practical. By listing our app in the App Orchard marketplace, ActX has moved one step closer to making precision medicine based care available everywhere.
