About
John C. Krauss, M.D., graduated from the University of Michigan Medical School in 1985, did his Internal Medicine training at the University of Minnesota, and then returned to the University of Michigan for his Hematology and Oncology specialty training. Dr. Krauss joined the University of Michigan Faculty in 1992, and then moved his research lab to the Cleveland Clinic to continue clinical research on harnessing the immune system to combat cancer.

Dr. Krauss treats a wide variety of patients with cancer, including breast cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, and kidney cancer, focusing both on providing the highest possible cure rates for cancer and the best quality of life for the patient while on the journey.

Research Overview
I am interested in improving the diagnosis-based problem list in the electronic medical record. My hypothesis is that for outpatient visits, ranking the problems by acuity and mortality will help the clinician and the patient reach a mutual understanding of the short-term and long term threats to health. I am working on improving the quality of the problem list with measurable items like morbid obesity, hypertension, and diabetes.
