====== Incidence of exposure to drugs for which pre-emptive pharmacogenomic testing is available  ======

<WRAP box justify round>

**Objective:** Derive data that large healthcare organizations can combine data on risks of adverse events  and cost data to conduct cost-effectiveness / cost-benefit analyses for pre-emptive pharmacogenomics testing

**Rationale:** Very few studies have been conducted that report on the potential return on investment for pre-emptive pharmacogenomics testing. The studies that have been published  suggest that pre-emptive pharmacogenomics testing may produce a return on investment but much depends on if a sufficient number of drugs with pharmacogenes are covered by a single test. Since the current data are limited to relatively localized settings and might not be of generalizable use to other health organizations, it's of interest to implement a new study using the OHDSI research network.
