Today all countries (developed, developing, and emerging) are faced with
exponentially increasing costs for healthcare delivery coupled with
challenges of an aging population as well as an increase in chronic
diseases. This has led to a growing need to deliver more effective and
efficient healthcare. To address this situation we are witnessing the
application of various technology solutions to support superior healthcare
delivery and wellness management. These solutions include the incorporation
of web based solutions be it as an electronic medical record (EMR),
electronic health record (EHR) or personal health record (PHR) as well as a
plethora of apps to support monitoring and management of acute and chronic
diseases. Further, we are seeing the growth of Web 2.0 initiatives and
social media to support consumer healthcare initiatives such as web sites
including patients like me which also serve to make patients more empowered
in their own healthcare and wellbeing. A unifying factor of all these
applications is of course the collaboration technologies that enable and
facilitate all these possibilities.
In order to achieve successful and superior healthcare delivery and
wellness management it is necessary to consider people, process and
technology issues; i.e. to have a socio-technical perspective. To do this
effectively and efficiently and thereby have a higher success it is also
necessary to be cognizant of the five primary stakeholders in healthcare:
researchers, clinicians, nurses, patients, and administrators who form the
basis of any partnership in health care. There also exist partnerships or
sub-dimensions. A partnership may be between two researchers, a researcher
and a clinician, a patient and a nurse, etc. The partnerships may also be
based on an exchange of data, analysis, diagnosis, or treatment singly or
in combination. Further, the purpose of the collaboration may be care,
research, administration, education or a combination of the four. These are
listed under the purpose dimension of the ontology. Thus collaboration
between two researchers using data may be for research, and between a
patient and a clinician may be for diagnosis for care. In addition,
technology’s
impact on the efficiency and effectiveness on these collaborations will be
determined by the architecture of the technology, the systems developed
around it, and the strategy for implementing it. The efficacy of the
architecture will determine the efficacy of the system, and the efficacy of
the system will determine the efficacy of the strategy.
We welcome completed research papers and research in progress papers papers
which address the state-of-the-art, state-of-the-need, and the
state-of-the-practice of these combinations. Topics include but are not
limited to:
- EMRs,EHRs and PHRs
- RPA(robotic process automation) and TQM(total quality management) and
Six sigma
- MDMs(multidimensional meetings)
- Telehealth, telemedicine
- 3D printing
- Virtual reality (VR), Augmented reality (AR)
- Bots
- DSS
- Block chain in healthcare
