| Description: | The US healthcare system is characterized by variations in three respects: 1) individuals with the same illness receive different treatments and some no treatments at all; 2) even receiving the same treatments, patients with a given disease experience treatments differently; and 3) treatment response varies substantially. In spite of the diverse approaches employed in basic genetic research and health services research, both share the common goal of trying to reduce variation in treatment and its response to improve population health.
