Nurses have long been aware of the importance of basing their practice on evidence. They will need to understand the new evidence that precision medicine brings to individualizing patient care and how it impacts care coordination.

As members of the health care team, nurses are actively engaged not only in delivering personalized health care, but also in patient education related to precision medicine. Nurses will be vital in assisting patients to understand the impact of genetic testing and how it will affect treatment and support options.
