*3nd International Workshop on Health Informatics: IT Innovations and Disruptive Approaches in the Digital Health Era (HOPE’20)*
*Scope*
*The quality and expenditure control of the health sector have become, in both developed and developing countries alike, the main objectives pursued by public authorities. The digital transformation of the sector has shown promise to provide answers to these objectives and to overcome health systems challenges, particularly those linked to the aging of the population, the increasing rates of chronic diseases and the personalization of medicine. Indeed, the rapid spread of mobile devices and of the Internet of Things, the presence of the digital network anywhere and anytime, allow to improve quality of, often in the short term, services which provide personalized patient care, reduce the number and duration of hospital stays, enable continuous patient monitoring and conceive efficient and safe home care.*
*The recent development and employment of artificial intelligence and analysis techniques to exploit big data in healthcare to develop new improved disease surveillance methods, improve diagnosis and early disease detection, discover novel treatments, uncover new drug side effects or interactions, and design and study deployment of decision-making methods and IT solutions in order to improve the performance and the security of the patient pathway management in and out the hospital. The recent challenges presented by COVID-19 are examples for the need to bringing the optimization of healthcare functions and services to the maximum. Digital transformation including developing novel IT innovations and disruptive approaches and employing ehealth services provide one key solution to meeting these challenges.*
*This digital transformation, already underway in many countries, is defined, for a health organization, as a process that consists of fully integrated digital technologies into all of its activities in order to improve its performance. It characterizes not only a technical development, but also a new way of working, an attitude, and a commitment for networked, global thinking, to improve health care by using ICT. Hence, it deeply transforms, at a rattling pace, the rules and ways of managing the health system and thus seeks to develop new innovative informatics solutions to enable, support as well as utilize this transformation.*
*As the digital transformation of the health sector brings significant progress to the care system; it consequently requires major changes in the behavior of the actors of the health system. Like any major change in norms and practices, this transition faces reluctance, barriers and fears it can generate. As such, it imposes on hospital organizations a real problem in driving the change of their staff. Many employees may feel disoriented and overwhelmed by new the ways and practices. They may consider digital transformation as a risk and not an opportunity. In order for them to become engaged actors of this process, instead of being subjected to it, it is essential that health institutions integrate its collaborators and give them the means to master and be the drivers of this change.*
*To that purpose, both development of IT innovations and disruptive approaches, and introduction and deployment of IT solutions in healthcare environments, associated with education and training on digital health are fundamental prerequisites not just to the wide-scale adoption but also the effective use of e-health solutions and major keys to the success of digital transformation in the health sector. These digital health education and training which the underlying body of knowledge is health informatics, should be addressed to all kind of stakeholders involved in the health ecosystem and should be based on innovative educational methods and adapted to the profiles of these stakeholders. The workshop will provide a research-rich environment to address these challenges and support the development of new novel and disruptive approaches paving the way towards improved public health and personalized medicine. Recent spread of COVID-19 in many countries, causing disastrous human-impacting events, and as one of the most challenging communicable and infectious diseases, research related to developing innovative solutions to improve early surveillance, detection, diagnosis or treatments are particularly encouraged.*
*It’s within the above scope that this workshop has been conceived to bring together researchers and practitioners to share research results, advancements and practical related experiences in this field.*
