(Dec. 10, 2020)<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0Concert Genetics and Trapelo Health announced today that they have partnered to provide a streamlined, integrated solution that will expand access to evidence-based, genomic-informed oncology decision support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-md\">The partnership is built on a shared mission to improve connectivity, transparency, and alignment among the healthcare stakeholders that support the delivery of oncology care. It combines the unique strengths of the two organizations: Concert\u2019s genetic testing data and digital infrastructure and Trapelo\u2019s expertise in molecular oncology decision support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-md\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trapelohealth.com\/precision-medicine-technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">For an in-depth interview with leadership from both companies listen to this episode of the Precision Medicine Podcast.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"body-md\">For Concert\u2019s health plan customers, the joint solution will expand access to Trapelo\u2019s unique decision-support capabilities, which are built on a continuously updated knowledgebase of curated evidence that is used to inform molecular testing, treatment decisions and clinical trial recommendations.

These advances underscore the urgent need for clinical support solutions that can be deployed now.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-md\">\u201cAchieving the promise of precision medicine requires bringing exactly the right data to bear at the moment of truth, when diagnosis is determined and treatment decisions are made,\u201d said Rob Metcalf, CEO of Concert Genetics. \u201cTogether, Concert and Trapelo can improve the quality and clarity of information available at that moment for the benefit of all stakeholders, especially the patient.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-md\">\u201cThis partnership enables a first-of-its-kind approach to managing the growing complexities precision oncology,\u201d said Clynt Taylor, CEO of Trapelo Health. \u201cAn increasing number of treatment decisions require both familial and somatic testing.
