Description

Health information systems (HIS), which span two large and important industries of healthcare and information technology, have attracted tremendous attention from researchers worldwide over the last decade. HIS promise better, cost-efficient and patient-centric healthcare through widespread sharing of authorized data and promoting proactive involvement by patients to take care of their own well-being. National and regional governments worldwide have introduced several initiatives around technology use, data integration, privacy, payment models and access to care. Concurrently, the commercial sector has launched several innovations in the consumer sector, which make it easier to track and consolidate individual-level data. Despite these significant efforts, the take-up of HIS is not uniform across different entities in different countries in the world. Neither is the impact consistent across different stakeholders, such as patients, care providers, including hospitals, physicians, nurses and pharmacists, and payers. Finally, challenges still remain for data integration across multiple sources and the meaningful analysis of healthcare data.

Topics of Interests

This track provides a forum for presenting and discussing original research highlighting the opportunities and challenges related to the role of IT in delivering 21st century healthcare. We invite theoretical, empirical and design orientated submissions that leverage the multiple perspectives of information systems in the healthcare sector. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following aspects of health information systems:

• Adoption, diffusion and assimilation of health information systems
• Organizational, operational, clinical and financial implications of HIS use
• Personalized medicine
• Wearable devices and their impacts on lifestyle, diets and exercise habits
• Healthcare analytics focused on cost, quality and efficiency of care delivery
• Mobile health applications and their impacts
• Telehealth applications and their impacts
• Clinical, administrative and operational workflow changes associated with HIS implementation
• HIS implementation challenges and strategies
• Technology-enabled care coordination
• New payment methods and new ways of care delivery (e.g., ACO)
• HIS and health policy
• Safety, security and privacy of health information
• Design of health information technologies
• The impact of HIS on care providers, patients and payers
• Governance of HIS architectures
• Patient-centered healthcare management
• Electronic data sharing and transfer using health information exchanges
• Public health informatics
• Clinical, public health and genomic data integration
