2018 Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) New Orleans, LA. August 16-18, 2018, https://amcis2018.aisnet.org/ AMCIS 2018 Conference Theme: Digital Disruption

*Mini-track Description:*

We are at the beginning of a fourth industrial revolution, enabled by emergence of new and improved digital capabilities. The ‘speed’ and ‘scale’ of changes within industries, such as healthcare, is imminent. Many believe that digital transformation, defined as digitally-enabled, continuous, strategic undertaking to significantly improve business processes and customer engagement, is critical to advance the state of healthcare in order to improve patient outcomes.

This mini-track seeks to understand the key strategic drivers of digital transformation for some of the entities in the healthcare value chain, including providers, payers, and pharmacies. The aim is to develop a comprehensive view of how patient outcomes and experience can be improved through digital transformation. This mini-track will consider empirical research, reviews of current literature, theory, methodology, and relevant position papers.

*Important dates:*

- Mid- January, 2018: Manuscript submissions for AMCIS papers begin - March 01, 2018 1pm EST: Deadline for AMCIS paper submissions

Note: *This mini-track offers fast-track publication opportunities with Health Technology and Policy journal.*
