My work is focused on understanding and improving the experience of patients with cancer and other hematologic diseases. I approach this goal using the tools of real-world evidence development, patient-reported outcomes and patient-generated health data methods and implementation, and patient-centered health care delivery interventions. My current clinical practice focuses on bone marrow transplantation and cellular therapy and malignant hematology. I am currently a\u00a0Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Division of Hematology in the Department of Medicine. I am a member of the UNC Cancer Outcomes Research Program.<\/p>\n

Major current efforts include the development of a multi-institutional real-world data network in hematology as the senior medical advisor to the American Society of Hematology Research Collaborative (ASH RC), the development of a multicenter patient navigation program as medical director for patient navigation at the UNC Cancer Center, and the development of a research program studying interventions related to supportive care delivery and optimization of quality of life in patients with cancer and hematologic conditions. I have developed the HealthScore program, a health coaching program to support patients with cancer and their caregivers. \u00a0I am also active in the global digital medicine community and conduct projects related to the development of digital biomarkers related to physical and emotional health using patient-generated health data from sensors and PROs. I have received competitive funding from the NCI, foundations, and industry to support my research efforts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2337,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"layout":"","cellInformation":"","apiCallInformation":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"ud_division":[91,63,70,66,71,90],"class_list":["post-3719","ud_entry","type-ud_entry","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","ud_division-all-faculty-profiles","ud_division-division-of-hematology","ud_division-division-of-hematology-oncology","ud_division-hematology-bone-marrow-transplantation","ud_division-hemonc-bone-marrow-stem-cell-transplantation-bmt","ud_division-our-faculty-syndication","odd"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWilliam Wood, MD, MPH - Division of Hematology<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.med.unc.edu\/medicine\/hematology\/people\/william-wood-md-mph\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"William Wood, MD, MPH - Division of Hematology\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"My work is focused on understanding and improving the experience of patients with cancer and other hematologic diseases.
