Description
This project is designed to examine how appropriate use of informatics methods and in-depth knowledge of health care delivery can allow electronic health record data to expand our understanding of the pathway from screening to cancer diagnosis, and why patients choose certain treatments.
Primary mentors are Harold S. Luft, Ph.D., PAMFRI, and Andrea LaCroix, Ph.D., University of California San Diego.
