Dr. Haggstrom focuses on cancer health services research. He is interested in the measurement and improvement of the quality of health care delivery across the cancer continuum. In addition to implementation science, his research interests specifically include personal health records and portals, clinical decision making, and cancer survivorship.
Dr. Haggstrom has strong interest in applied medical informatics, including health information exchange.
I am interested in the quality of cancer care, defined in terms of both underutilization and overutilization, and underserved populations. I also have research interests in patient-provider communication, risk perception, patient-centered care, and applied medical informatics. I have studied questions across the continuum of cancer care, from cancer screening to treatment to survivorship. I have focused on highly prevalent cancers, including breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer. A specific and active area of interest is surveillance testing among colorectal cancer survivors and the application of personal health records.
