"We believe that whole exome sequencing has the potential to reveal
predispositions to health problems and enable earlier use of preventive

tailoring interventions to their needs—isn’t easy, but it’s effective.

with multiple chronic diseases in a care management program, versus
those in a matched control cohort.”
Excerpted from:
Population Health News, Volume 12 Number 1, January 2020, "Tossing the
Script: How a New Population Health Accreditation Program Could Shake Up
the Industry," by Kate Rollins.

preventing too many people across the globe from living healthy
lives.
