Active Projects

Cancer Care Coordination (VA HSR&D, PI: Haggstrom) 2017-2018. This project, using interviews and surveys, seeks to develop valid measures with which to systematically measure care coordination among patients diagnosed with cancer in the VA.

Population Health in the Indiana University Simon Cancer Center Catchment Area (NCI, PI: Loehrer) 2016-2018. Data will be collected from at least 1000 individuals seen at Indiana University Health, who reside in counties with higher than average cancer mortality rates, will help the IU Simon Cancer Center and its partners to understand cancer-related knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors, including cancer information-seeking behaviors, in a way that has not been previously possible. Role: Project Director

Patient-Centered Informatics for Cancer Survivors (Walther Cancer Foundation, Inc., PI: Haggstrom) 2016-2019. A tool for survivors, the cancer personal health record facilitates patient self-management, as well as co-management with their physicians, of symptoms, psychological problems, and healthy behaviors.

Center for Cancer Population Analytics and Patient- Centered Informatics (Indiana University-Purdue University Signature Center Program, PI: Haggstrom) 2014-2019. This multidisciplinary center is organized to create national leaders in the state of Indiana in the fields of cancer health services research and informatics and to perform top-tier national cancer health services research and “big data” analytics to improve the quality, efficiency, coordination, and outcomes of cancer care.
