Biography of Jeremy Nobel

His particular interest is in the development of computer based information technology applications that coordinate critical aspects of healthcare delivery, support optimal practice patterns, and improve patient satisfaction. He provided health policy insight to the landmark Institute of Medicine of 1991 study addressing the automated patient record, which helped launch the Electronic Health Record movement.  

Nobel's work specifically encompasses the use of technologies to better coordinate information flow between patients, providers, payers and purchasers, including interactive web-sites, remote physiologic monitoring, hand-held devices, "smart" registries, and other IT applications. Much of his effort is directed at the community level and in particular, the health care safety net; including community clinics, public health departments, the VA, and public hospitals.   

He has worked in consultation with several major corporations and foundations in the design of effective health care management programs including Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Massachusetts, J&J, HBOC, Chrysler, GM, Safeway, Sanofi-Aventis, Pfizer, GSK, Verizon, CAREMARK, IBM, Medtronic, McKesson, Blue Shield of CA Foundation and the California Endowment. He is on the faculty of the Harvard School of Public Health where he teaches and does research on the health policy and management issues related to improving care delivery processes through better information management.  

Dr. Nobel is Board Certified in both Internal Medicine and Preventive Medicine with Master's Degrees in Epidemiology and Health Policy from the Harvard School of Public Health. He graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University within the Science and Human Affairs program. He received his medical education at the University of Pennsylvania and completed his internal medicine residency at the Beth Israel Hospital, Boston.
