Evaluate the complexity of the technical issues related to managing and utilizing genomic data as discussed in chapter 24. Without discrimination as the framework, preventive medicine and wellness models may desire genetic testing in adults to identify genetic diseases before they cause symptoms. Outline the considerations for the shifts in health care delivery caused by personalized medicine including the management of personalized data.
