Session Description
Recent guideline recommendation changes for DPYD testing represent an opportunity for hematology/oncology pharmacists to lead precision medicine initiatives that improve patient safety and therapeutic outcomes.
This session will highlight real-world experiences from three health systems - Ochsner Health, University of Michigan, and Atrium Health - each describing their unique approaches to designing, implementing, and scaling pharmacogenomics programs, with a shared focus on pre-treatment DPYD testing prior to fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy. Attendees will gain insight into how each health system approached key operational decisions, including testing strategies (preemptive vs. reactive), vendor selection, reimbursement pathways, clinical decision support (CDS) alert design, pharmacist training and certification, governance structures, and scalable workflows across diverse care settings.
This session will provide hematology/oncology pharmacists with a comparative, pragmatic roadmap for integrating DPYD testing into a variety of practice settings.
