 Entry-level nurses. Why is genomics important for nurses and in which practice settings can it be used? This is a great question because genomics is just so very important for nurses for many reasons. Genomics is a rapidly developing science and we're already seeing improvements from the use of genomics in various sectors, including our health, environment, and the economy. In healthcare, we see genomic knowledge from bench science being translated into direct clinical care with improvements in the screening, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease. Improvements in health related to the incorporation of genomics can be seen at individual, family, community, and population levels. The integration of genomics into healthcare has led to the development of a new approach to care called precision healthcare. Precision healthcare combines a person's unique genomic information with other relevant biological, social, environmental, and behavioral determinants of health to develop a care plan tailored to the individual. Genomics can sometimes seem like it is outside the scope of practice for nurses. However, with this shift to precision healthcare approach in clinical care, nurses should consider genomics to be fundamental to nursing. Nurses should be reassured that not only is genomics not outside their scope of practice, but the precision healthcare is very similar to the personalized care approach historically taken by nurses. Precision healthcare combines the holistic approach to care embedded in personalized care with an individual's unique genomic information. Vital aspects of precision healthcare that are already foundational to the personalized care nurses provide include advocacy, equity, access, ethics, patient autonomy, patient education, and family relationships. Nurses can take small steps to learn about how genomics can be integrated into their current practice. One example is by learning what genomic factors to ask about and be aware of when obtaining a family history. A family history that includes this information is commonly referred to as the most cost-effective genetic test and can be crucial to appropriate and timely diagnosis and risk assessment. It is vital that nurses integrate genomics into their nursing practice and increase their capacity to provide precision healthcare because nurses are the largest group of the healthcare workforce and spend the most time with patients and their families. No other group can make as big an impact on the accessibility, quality, and effectiveness of precision healthcare. Nurses are key members of the healthcare team and need to have foundational genomics knowledge to help with the team approach to precision healthcare. Additionally, nurses can and should be leaders in precision healthcare. Parallels between personalized nursing care and precision healthcare make this an area with many opportunities for leadership from nurses. Nursing's voice is critical to ensuring a holistic, person and family-centered approach to the implementation, delivery, and evaluation of precision healthcare. I'm so excited for the future of nursing as more and more nurses integrate genomics into their practice. In terms of which nursing practice settings genomics can be used in, to reference an Oscar-winning movie, genomics can be used in every nursing role, every setting, all at once. As we learn about how health outcomes are influenced by genomic variations, as well as interactions between the genome and the environment, we are seeing applications of genomics that are relevant across the lifespan and in all practice settings. Nurses need to be prepared to integrate genomics into the nursing process, including gathering important information about the patient's environment. And nurses in all practice settings need to be prepared to provide patient education and be patient advocates in this new precision healthcare era.
