Individualizing and optimizing medication therapy using a variety of patient-specific factors is a longstanding and fundamental role for pharmacists. Genetic variation that can prompt changes in drug therapy is common for widely used medications, and for decades patient-specific genetic information has been utilized to guide the use of selected medications. However, in routine practice, using genomic information as a patient-specific factor to guide medication selection and dosing lags behind use of other patient-specific pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic factors such as renal and hepatic function. Pharmacogenomics remains an underused strategy to optimize medication effectiveness, improve medicationuse safety, and reduce overall costs of care. This issue of AJHP includes an update to ASHP’s Statement on the Pharmacist’s Role in Clinical Pharmacogenomics. 1 ASHP statements provide the organization’s fundamental views on a topic, and pharmacogenomics has rich opportunities for wider use in patient care, with an important role for pharmacists. The 2021 Statement articulates a clear vision regarding the value of pharmacogenomic testing in enhancing patients’ medication-related outcomes and pharmacists’ roles in leading interprofessional implementation of pharmacogenomics programs.Pharmacists are responsible and accountable for patients’ drug therapy outcomes and the entire medication-use system in their organizations. 2 The ASHP Statement is structured at these two levels. First, pharmacist-provided comprehensive medication management should incorporate genomic information. Further, pharmacists are uniquely capable and positioned to take a leadership role to collaboratively implement pharmacogenomics in their practice settings at the individual and population levels.
