Atiye Cansu Erol is a PhD candidate at The Wharton School. She is currently pursuing her degree at the Operations, Information and Decisions Department with a focus on Information Systems. Prior to joining Wharton, she worked as Strategy and Business Development Consultant at a global medical technology company. Erol is interested in understanding the role of information technology (IT) in health care. More specifically, she analyzes both economic and societal effects of these technologies on insurers, care providers and patients, and how IT reshapes the provision of health care services and the connections between providers. She is particularly inspired by the potential benefits of IT for improving care provided to vulnerable populations. In her previous work, she analyzed the benefits of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) adoption by long-term care providers.
