Connected health is an umbrella term used to capture the complexities of technology enabled care which encompasses topics such as telecare, telehealth, telemedicine, mHealth, digital health and eHealth services. Connected health entails the convergence of health information technology, health informatics, digital media, mobile devices and sensors.

Connected Health is going to be an integral part of the solution to many of the challenges facing the health, social care and wellness sectors, especially in enabling more effective integration of care. There is a growing emphasis on wellness facilitated by technology, wearables, Smartphone, and programmatic healthy lifestyle changes. These e-technologies are being used at an increasing rate to encourage patients to adopt a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, monitored diets and weight management, as well as improved self-management of their chronic diseases and overall wellness.

Healthcare systems around the world are facing challenges in containing costs of the growing demands on the health systems, which is impacted generally by a growing population, thereby affecting the future sustainability and the quality of care that healthcare systems have been designed, and will be able, to deliver. The challenges include constrained budget, health professional expertise and other resources aside from the increased costs of advanced medical treatments and pharmaceuticals. The world’s aging population is also creating increased complexities while adding to the costs for timely and quality care delivery. As patients become better informed and more engaged, they are demanding higher quality, patient-centric and integrated healthcare services.

The promise of technology-assisted connected health is extremely galvanizing. Today, innovative connected medical devices and remote sensors can support quality healthcare, and such care delivery can also be further enhanced through the combined and intelligent applications of big data analytics, social media, the Internet of things (IoTs) coupled with relevant software and hardware, for example, electronic health portals and authenticated medical websites, various applications of patient health information records, computerized physician order entry and other e-health systems, including artificial intelligence, surgical robotics, mobile diagnostics, remote monitoring devices and wearables.

Overview of HIT-IT Modules:

Health Information Technology – Informatics & Telematics is a multidisciplinary publication intended for all healthcare students, practitioners and researchers who want to keep pace with new developments and advances in the connected health trend encompassing the field of Health IT (HIT) – Informatics & Telematics (IT). The work is envisioned to be a completely restructured, expanded, and unique compilation of materials in the form of learning modules with specialized themes integrating new contributions, special sections, and streamlined discussions of more established as well as current hot topics. Each themed module includes motivating scenarios, real-world examples, press releases, stimulating cases, exhibits, illustrative graphics, tables, module-specific questions and data analytics tutorial exercises.

Significant updates of emerging Health IT applications will be highlighted throughout the work. The modules included in this work will also feature interactive practical hands-on exercises that allow the students / learners to complete exercises using the state of the SAS healthcare data analytics platform. Students / learners will also participate in Data Visualization hands on exercises and assignments using the Tableau Business intelligence platform.

Key modules planned with rooms to expand include:

A. HIT Taxonomy & Basic Concepts Module - Focusing on Definitions & Scoping of Topics: Evolution of Digital Health Systems; Theoretical Focus of Health Informatics & Telematics; Taxonomy of HIT-IT systems; HIT-IT Drivers & Challenges; Human & Technology interface

CASE I: Evidence-based research in practice

B. HIT Management & Planning Module - Focusing on Organization Behavioral Perspective: Workflow Quality Management; Selecting and Designing Health IT Systems; Vendor Management & Procurement; EMR/EHR & Meaningful Use; Health IT Integration & interoperability

CASE II: Linking Health Informatics Competencies to Innovations in Paramedicine

C. Big Data Analytics Module - Focusing on Data Analysis Techniques & Interpretation: Cognitive information science; Data mining as a research tool & decision support; Predictive Analytics to generate foresight;

CASE III: Data visualization

D. Digital Health Value Systems Module - Focusing on Systems Re-Design: Consumer focused solutions (Patient Engagement); Population Health systems; Professional & specialty clinical systems;

CASE IV: HIT-IT Implementation Challenges in Hong Kong Nursing Homes

E. IOTs & Intelligence (AI) Module - Focusing on Innovations in Healthcare Delivery: Connected devices; Artificial intelligence & Machine learning; Cyborg generation: sensors, implants and wearables;

CASE V: IBM Watson Health

F. Standards, Privacy & Governance Module - Focusing on Policy, Ethics & Research: Genetics; HIT-IT Governance; Privacy & Confidentiality in Healthcare; Ethics, Fraud & abuse;

CASE VI: Cyber-Security

CASE VII: Telematics & Telemedicine Systems

Contributions:

Contributors are welcome to submit unpublished papers and chapter proposals on topics relating to the aforementioned themed modules introduced by Health Information Technology – Informatics & Telematics (HIT-IT) and their implications for allied health professionals, learning experiences in real-world contexts and lessons learned from programs, courses and educational interventions aimed at enhancing healthcare professionals’ informatics and telematics competencies for the digital age of organizational transformation. Evidence-based research and evaluation of interventions that address the different themed modules are also welcome.

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

- Health IT best practices and their implications for health professionals; - Original research and digital health IT projects on enhancing patient care and monitoring, especially for chronic diseases; - The evolving nature of the patient-clinician relationships and shared decision making models; - Advancing data analytics and HIT-IT applications on medical (and other health professional) education for the information age; - Clinicians’ education on confidentiality, privacy and ethical issues in the digital age; - Cases in cyber-security: learning communities, telemedicine and simulation-based interventions; - Training allied health and paramedical professionals in informatics at all levels including undergraduate, double degree, and certificate programs; board certification; and continuing education
