President Barack Obama points out, “(Healthcare) is
about people’s lives. This is about people’s businesses. This is about our
future.” Computer technologies are bringing about enormous changes in the
biomedical domain, revolutionizing the way healthcare is delivered and managed.
The changes wrought by ubiquitous deployment of microchips, computers and
sensors promise to be profound enough to change our lives and our society.
Embedded software is getting more pervasive and its use in medical devices is
gaining momentum. The devices and services are taking on increasingly vital
roles in reducing the errors and cost. Scientific and clinical services and
workflows, bio-sensors, along with interoperability of systems have brought
seamless care into the realm of possible. It is becoming increasingly clear
that the promised changes in healthcare will only be possible with judicious
exploitation of the Healthcare IT and advances in biomedicine.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together
researchers and practitioners from the fields of healthcare, biomedical sciences,
computer science, management and services to share their experiences and
research results, and identify the emerging trends,
opportunities, problems, and challenges in this area. It is anticipated
that the workshop will foster collaborative efforts among practitioners and
researchers, accelerate knowledge discovery, and thus contribute towards
advances in research and practice of healthcare.
Prospective Audience and Authors: The
workshop will be integrative from two perspectives: The research perspective
will give researchers the opportunity to present and discuss current and future
breakthroughs in information technologies and services in healthcare as well as
the novel ways in which they are applied. The practical perspective will
provide the opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present case
studies and practical experiences in deployment, use, and management of
software, systems, and tools in healthcare and biomedicine related
applications, activities and facilities.
Authors are invited to submit regular
papers (8 pages), short papers (4 pages), and demo papers (2 pages) that show
original unpublished research results in all areas of healthcare informatics
services.
List of Potential Topics: Research results, case studies, and demos of systems
on scientific computing and management in health and biomedical applications
are encouraged. Suitable topics include, but are not limited to, the
following:
1. Bioinformatics,
medical informatics, or chemometrics
2. Developing, testing,
and using embedded applications in healthcare service provision
3. Technical
infrastructure for health: data coordination and computational thinking
4. Informatics systems
for electronic records integrating image data with clinical data for health
care decision support
5. Interfaces for
transmitting image data across institutions/hospitals
6. Interoperable
Electronic Health Record (EHR)-based research platforms
7. Data mining and
management for medical records database, including mining clinical notes, test
data and images
8. Artificial
intelligence technologies to support complex decision making in health care or
clinical research
9. Application of
workflow services to clinical care and other healthcare processes
10.Protection
of individual privacy for aggregate anonymous data, security and privacy
policies for health care
11.Technologies
to address rural health disparities, geographic disparities in Medicare usage
and cost
12.Tools to
assess the impact of interventions on quality of life and cost effectiveness
for health care
Workshop format: The
format of the workshop will include presentations, demonstrations (hardware and
software), and posters.
Size and length of the
proposed workshop: The workshop is expected to be held for one day. The duration of individual sessions will range from 90
minutes to 120 minutes, including a 15minutes break.
Instructions for Final Submission: Final papers will be acceptable in MS-Word format. The
max number of pages is 8 for a regular paper, 4 for a short paper, and 2 for a
demo paper.
The accepted papers will be published by IEEE Press
as part of conference proceeding.
