Figure 1. Depicting the Implementation Process for Precision Medicine. This figure describes the iterative and complex, often messy, process that frames translational research from discovery to product and implementation. It outlines the various strategies required to transfer knowledge, synthesize and integrate it and how this influences approval, availability and adoption in the health care system. This highlights the importance of ‘upstream’ evidence on validity and utility as the foundation for effective approaches to implementation.

The implementation process for precision medicine figure is part of a larger publication on moving research discovery to implementation.
