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
The mini track chairs are happy to answer any questions you may
