AMCIS 2021 Conference Theme: Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship
DESCRIPTION
Healthcare information technology promotes new and improved opportunities for healthcare providers, and as it becomes more advanced and widely adopted, it will improve the way healthcare is delivered as well as enhance patient outcomes. The new concept of digital transformation shifts the focus from the value embedded in the technology itself, and emphasizes the use of technology to alter the firm’s value proposition. This in turn necessitates various changes in the organization, including but not limited to business processes, strategies, approaches to governance and others.
In the context of healthcare, digital transformation may take on a different meaning due to the difference between patients and consumers. Although consumerism is undeniably a force in healthcare, it is not necessarily a force that improves patient outcomes. Therefore, digital transformation in healthcare can entail novel approaches to delivering care driven by consumerism as well as the need to improve patient outcomes, including those related to patient-centered care or patient engagement.
The aim of this minitrack is to develop a comprehensive view of how patient outcomes and healthcare experiences can be improved through digital transformation. Potential topics for this minitrack include those related to patient experience, care providers, payers, and other key entities in the healthcare value chain; strategic, managerial, and governance-related issues associated with digital transformation; cultural transformations impacted by healthcare IT that influence patient outcomes; and others.
SUBMISSION TYPES
This minitrack will consider submissions of positivist, interpretivist, pragmatic and critical research, novel theoretical and methodological approaches, literature reviews, technology evaluations, and position papers.
