CALL FOR PAPERS
Digital Transformation in Healthcare
2021 Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS)
Virtual (Montreal, Canada), August 5-7, 2021.
<https://amcis2020.aisconferences.org>https://amcis2021.aisconferences.org/
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.
