The book says that a new data network that integrates emerging research on the molecular makeup of diseases with clinical data on individual patients could drive the development of a more accurate classification of diseases and ultimately enhance diagnosis and treatment. The "new taxonomy" that emerges would define diseases by their underlying molecular causes and other factors in addition to their traditional physical signs and symptoms. The book adds that the new data network could also improve biomedical research by enabling scientists to access patients' information during treatment while still protecting their rights. This would allow the marriage of molecular research and clinical data at the point of care, as opposed to research information continuing to reside primarily in academia. Toward precision medicine notes that moving toward individualized medicine requires that researchers and health care providers have access to very large sets of health- and disease-related data linked to individual patients. These data are also critical for developing the information commons, the knowledge network of disease, and ultimately the new taxonomy."--Publisher's description. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 1 $a Introduction -- Why now? -- What would a knowledge network and new taxonomy look like? -- How do we get there? -- The statement of the task, with additional context -- Committee biographies -- March 1 & 2, 2011 workshop agenda -- eMERGE Consortium data use agreement -- Glossary. 530 $a Also available in Open Book format via the National Academies Press home page. 650 0 $a Medical informatics. 650 0 $a Medicine $x Information technology. 650 0 $a Information storage and retrieval systems $x Medicine. 650 0 $a APACHE (Disease classification system) 650 0 $a Nosology. 856 41 $u http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=13284 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825040939.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D55684C26A8A11E689525693DAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
