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 have regarding suitability of your potential submission so feel free to contact us.

Mahalo!
