***ATTENTION - HEALTH PRIVACY & SECURITY RESEARCHERS***CALL FOR PAPERS***

Conference: 23rd Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), Aug. 10-12, 2017 in Boston, MA, USA Track: Healthcare Informatics and Information Technology (SIGHealth)https://amcis2017.aisnet.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle-id-10 Mini track 5: Health Information Privacy and Security

***Mini-track Description*** The privacy and security of health information has long been a priority of medical practitioners and consumers. The protection of personal health information stored electronically is an area of growing concern for individuals, organizations, and governments. Threats to information security in the healthcare sector risk not only patients' identities and financial information, but health data as well. The exposure of such sensitive information can cause financial hardship, mental anguish, and especially in healthcare, lead to social stigma and effect medical decisions.

This mini-track aims to highlight a wide range of research focused on the protection of health information. The type and number of organizations that handle health data is multifarious and growing. To complicate matters further, the use of technologies such as internet-connected medical devices and telemedicine is also on the rise. Furthermore, handlers of health data face a wide variety of complex regulatory compliance issues. For these reasons, the protection of health information is distinctive and merits a focused research effort. Research and results from this mini-track will bring light to unique data protection issues in healthcare. This mini-track encourages interdisciplinary research, a wide variety of approaches, and both completed and in-progress research papers.

Possible Topics: Possible research topics for this mini-track include, but are not limited to:

- Data protection in the healthcare supply chain

- Health data-centric security

- Health data protection regulation

- Regulatory compliance

- Regulatory enforcement

- Unique challenges for small healthcare organizations
