Pgtandme: Social Networking-Based Genetic Testing And The Evolving Research Model, Valerie Gutmann Koch Jan 2012

Pgtandme: Social Networking-Based Genetic Testing And The Evolving Research Model, Valerie Gutmann Koch

Valerie Gutmann Koch

The opportunity to use extensive genetic data, personal information, and family medical history for research purposes may be naturally appealing to the personal genetic testing (PGT) industry, which is already coupling its direct-to-consumer (DTC) products with social networking technologies, as well as to potential industry or institutional partners. This article evaluates the transformation in research that the hybrid of PGT and social networking will bring about, and – highlighting the challenges associated with a new paradigm of “patient-driven” genomic research – focuses on the consequences of shifting the structure, locus, timing, and scope of research through genetic crowd-sourcing. This article …


Incentivizing The Utilization Of Pharmacogenomics In Drug Development, Valerie Gutmann Koch Jan 2012

Incentivizing The Utilization Of Pharmacogenomics In Drug Development, Valerie Gutmann Koch

Valerie Gutmann Koch

Pharmacogenomics, the study and development of compounds according to how an individual’s genes affects the body’s response to drugs, holds enormous promise for increasing the safety and efficiency of drug development while decreasing adverse reactions and the trial-and-error nature of drug prescription. However, pharmacogenomics may not be the panacea for all development and prescription problems. This article explores some of the obstacles to pharmacogenomic advancement including industry reluctance to pursue research because of potentially prohibitive costs associated with developing products and legal liability concerns. The implications pharmacogenomics has for drug research and development as well as various areas of law …


Changing Expectations For Board Oversight Of Healthcare Quality: The Emerging Paradigm (With Tracy E. Miller), Valerie Gutmann Koch Jan 2009

Changing Expectations For Board Oversight Of Healthcare Quality: The Emerging Paradigm (With Tracy E. Miller), Valerie Gutmann Koch

Valerie Gutmann Koch

Within healthcare institutions, leadership is an essential driver of expectations, performance, and culture. Yet boards of directors traditionally played a limited role in overseeing healthcare quality, providing final approval of credentialing decisions but deferring to the medical staff to set standards for the institution. Case law and standards provide little guidance for board performance in verseeing quality of care. Recent developments — the availability of comparative quality data, public reporting, and financial incentives for higher quality — have transformed expectations for board oversight. Enforcement of fraud and abuse laws based on poor quality of care, as well as federal standards …


Conflicts Of Interest In Clinical Trial Recruitment & Enrollment: A Call For Increased Oversight, Valerie Gutmann Koch Jan 2009

Conflicts Of Interest In Clinical Trial Recruitment & Enrollment: A Call For Increased Oversight, Valerie Gutmann Koch

Valerie Gutmann Koch

This White Paper makes several policy recommendations to eliminate or manage the conflicts of interest that arise pursuant to the compensation arrangements between investigators and their institutions with drug and medical device manufacturers as they affect the recruitment and enrollment of human research subjects in clinical trials. The paper seeks to accomplish overall financial neutrality as between treatment and research, so that physicians' decisions regarding inclusion of patients in clinical trials is unaffected by their own financial interests.
