Protect Your Residents. Reduce Preventable Hospitalizations.
Seniors take an average of 5+ medications daily. PHD Laboratory's PGx and toxicology testing programs help your clinical team proactively manage medication risk — before adverse events happen.
Two Services. Comprehensive Resident Protection.
Medication safety in senior care requires both genomic insight and ongoing monitoring.
Pharmacogenomics (PGx)
A one-time cheek swab that reveals how each resident's genetics affect their response to 200+ medications — giving your prescribers an invaluable roadmap for safer medication management.
- Identify residents at risk for ADRs
- Optimize dosing for blood thinners & cardiac meds
- Improve antidepressant outcomes
- Results valid for the resident's lifetime
Clinical Toxicology
Urine and oral fluid drug testing to monitor controlled substance adherence, detect undisclosed substance use, and support your facility's medication management protocols.
- Controlled substance compliance monitoring
- Verify residents are taking prescribed medications
- Detect undisclosed substance use or diversion
- Support your clinical documentation requirements
Polypharmacy Is the Hidden Crisis in Senior Care.
When residents take multiple medications — often prescribed by multiple physicians — drug interactions and genetic mismatch become a serious safety risk. Most facilities have no way to proactively identify which residents are at greatest risk.
- Adverse drug reactions are the leading cause of falls in older adults
- 1 in 5 hospital readmissions are medication-related
- Many seniors are ultra-rapid or poor metabolizers of common drugs
- Drug-drug interactions increase exponentially with each added medication
Measurable Safety Improvements for Your Facility
Reduce Fall Risk
Identify residents on medications that cause dizziness, sedation, or balance impairment due to genetic mismatch — and work with prescribers to optimize.
Lower Readmission Rates
Medication-related hospitalizations are largely preventable. PGx data gives your clinical team a proactive tool to reduce ADR-driven readmissions.
Person-Centered Care
Demonstrate to families and surveyors that your facility takes individualized care seriously — with genomic data to back it up.
