## Summary

**Brings pharmacogenomic testing into routine prescribing to reduce adverse drug reactions.** This bill would push federal agencies and health systems to use genetic information to prevent harmful drug-gene and drug-drug-gene interactions and to improve reporting and electronic health record tools. - Patients and families: Encourages consideration of pharmacogenomic testing as part of care and asks HHS to report on progress toward national prevention targets within 180 days. This aims to lower medication harms by tailoring drugs to genetic profiles. - Clinicians and health leaders: Requires HHS guidance on when to test, how to consult genetics experts, and how to use test results in medication management. It also asks for regular updates to drug-gene alerting guidance at least twice a year. - Health IT vendors and pharmacies: Directs improvements to electronic health records and e-prescribing so alerts can recommend testing before orders are completed and accept testing results from labs. - Federal systems and regulators: Directs upgrades to FDA's adverse event system to accept EHR-submitted pharmacogenomic data, adds a patient-friendly electronic reporting option, and orders studies on drug labels and EHR changes within 180 days.
