Abstract

Precision healthcare requires incorporation of climate-related factors relevant to the patient. There is a critical need for healthcare systems to incorporate environment and community vital signs into electronic health records to facilitate incorporation of climate-related exposures into personalized patient care plans. Educators need to incorporate precision healthcare that includes climate-related assessments for patients into the education of current and future health care providers. Research focusing on precision healthcare that integrates data sources from omics and across the exposome, including climate-related data is needed. Practice guidelines need to be developed that incorporate the exposome, including climate-related health threats, into precision health at the healthcare system level and into personalized recommendations for patients.
