The purpose of the roadmap proposed by IRGC is to recommend a structured process that organisations can follow in their transition towards the development of precision medicine. The process is adaptable, and each organisation should further develop it to align with its own needs, culture and objectives. The roadmap suggests a comprehensive approach to the development of precision medicine: it begins with the creation of a space for dialogue among stakeholders, it considers a step-wise implementation of precision medicine, it recommends a careful attention to the data issue, and it reminds that regulation and payment systems will have to be adapted.
