This article provides a review of the theoretical discussions on the Twaddle Triad, considering critiques and elements of interest, analyzing its connections with the concepts and the processes of recovery. The concept of recovery has been fully linked to Twaddle triad by means of its three main processes, curing, healing, and habilitating, in order to arrive to a new framework proposal that is able, connecting variables and attributes of each framing concept, to better describe and deepen multifaceted elements around different types of health problems.</p>","PeriodicalId":16357,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11520915/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142545959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This field holds excellent prospects for healthcare quality acceleration.

Pharmacogenetics has been developing rapidly since the human genome project. Many pharmacogenetics studies have shown the association between genetic variants and therapy outcomes. Several pharmacogenetics working groups have recommended guidelines for the clinical application of pharmacogenetics. However, the development of pharmacogenetics in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is still retarded behind. The problems mainly include clinical evidence, technology, policy and regulation, and human resources. Currently, available genome and drug effect data in LMICs are scarce. Pharmacogenetics development should be escalated with evidence proof through research collaboration across countries.
