Adam Yan MD

Adam trained in Pediatrics and Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at the University of Toronto and The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada. As Chief Hematology/Oncology Fellow, Adam recognized an opportunity to optimize the utilization of electronic health records (EHRs) in the care of children with cancer and blood disorders. He developed initiatives to improve documentation and integrate supportive care guidelines into the EHR. Adam’s research has focused on improving care for survivors of childhood cancer, and on the use of novel therapies for children with cancer and blood disorders. Adam wants to use his informatics training to develop advanced decision support systems that use predictive analytics and real-time patient data to inform clinical decision-making. Adam is also interested in the integration of genomic data into EHRs, with a particular interest in pharmacogenomics. Adam plans to use his combined Hematology/Oncology and Clinical Informatics training to make meaningful improvements in the care of children with cancer and blood disorders.
