Winner of the 2002 Dean Connelly Award, this issue of Frontiers, "Genomics: Implications for Healthcare Management," looks at how the genomics revolution is affecting the delivery of health services.

With the June 2000 announcement that the mapping of the human genome was complete, genomics has already made an enormous impact on the delivery of health services. While the positive influence genomics could have on healthcare is immeasurable, it also raises numerous ethical questions, economic concerns, and trepidation over the evolution of healthcare.

This award-winning issue of Frontiers quickly brings you up to speed on one of the most exciting topics in healthcare management.
