About Lauren Bruckner

Biography:

I have practiced pediatric hematology, oncology and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in Upstate New York for the past 20 years. In 2009, I also became a leader championing approaches to enhance patient engagement and digital health. My aspiration is to create optimal patient and clinician health IT experiences and to affect the highest standards for patient safety, clinical outcomes, and systems effectiveness and efficiency.

Research

Research Overview:

My early research focused on clinical pediatric oncology, particularly adolescent and young adult cancer survivorship, with the goal to improve long-term outcomes of patients who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Over the past decade, my research has focused more on patient engagement and clinical informatics, to optimize the use of the EHR and to encourage patients to be more actively involved in their health and care.
