** Workshop on Process-oriented approach for patient-centered care delivery (PROCARE)

------------------------------------------------------------

Workshop at the 9th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare
May 20-23, 2015 - Istanbul, Turkey

** SCOPE
------------------------------------------------------------
Stimulating innovation through the introduction of novel IT solutions is by default a multidisciplinary field, certainly in pervasive healthcare. Supporting and solving healthcare problems need holistically combined methods and insights. Aligning a complex ecosystem of stakeholders with different goals, backgrounds and perspectives, such as care delivery (medicine, home care), IT (communication, hardware, software, media), organizational, economic, legal and user perspectives, is one of the main hurdles to be tackled. 

Few focus has been paid to the introduction of efficient and effective processes behind this innovation in order to integrate the solution in this complex care and cure ecosystem. Achieving a truly combined approach on research, product development, process design, management, improvement and optimization, and measurement system through key performance indicators (KPIs) when introducing pervasive healthcare systems still proves to be challenging.

This workshop aims to bring together a diverse public on this topic to exchange knowledge and showcase the benefits of process thinking in care & cure environment  to discuss case studies, and to develop guidelines on stimulating interdisciplinary cooperation and best practices how to avoid pitfalls.


** Topics
------------------------------------------------------------
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

Different perspectives on the process oriented approach: User, Technology, Legal, Organisational, Economics, Information Systems
* Design principles, tools & methodologies
* Technology acceptance & performance
* Modelling techniques
* Declarative and rules modelling of healthcare processes
* Process integration and strategic alignment
* Measurement and evaluation
* Optimization techniques
* Lean management
* Fit with business models & valorisation strategies
* Cost/benefit analysis
* Change management strategies in organizations
* Social and societal implications
* Regulatory issues
* Privacy, security, and trust
* Organization management
* Other perspectives

Case Studies
* Presentation and lessons learned (best practices / bottlenecks) of cases where a process oriented approach was introduced in a pervasive healthcare setting

Tools and demos

* Presentation of tools that support the project oriented approach e.g. interoperability between IT systems, BPMN and Declare modelling and simulation tools, KPI dashboard systems, etc.
