This winter, Intel published the results of a large interview- and survey-based study of challenges to personalized medicine at the health system level. Results include the major drivers of moving forward with investments, education, and personnel, as well as challenges (lack of money for investments, lack of education, and lack of personnel.) The interplay between insourced and outsourced or mixed solutions is also discussed.
See the commissioned review article at HealthcareITNews here and the actual Intel white paper report here.

Here.
I recently mentioned, a brilliant article on how real world health systems and CEOs view new initiatives was produced by Spellberg in 2017, here.
The HIMSS 2018 conference, March 5-9 in Las Vegas, has a number of precision medicine tracks and side conferences.
