Clinical Process and Data Integration and Evolution
This minitrack is focused at business integration and evolution solutions in
healthcare (e.g., between hospitals) as in this area there is a huge potential
for application of emerging integration technologies and interesting problems
and examples can be identified.

Consumer Health Informatics, Patient Safety, and Quality of Practice
Healthcare information systems are expected to reduce medical errors, improve quality of patient care and safety. These systems are increasingly supporting evidence-based medicine and patient-centric technologies, including monitoring of patient outcomes and adverse events, as well as better informing and empowering consumers themselves to work for better outcomes. This mini-track embraces all aspects of consumer health informatics and consumer-centric technologies or studies aimed at improving patient safety and quality of care, including: supporting consumers taking an active role in understanding, deciding about and/or managing their health; doctor-patient communication; clinical guideline and protocol support; monitoring and prevention of adverse events; and electronic health records (especially, security and privacy, access control rights, and consumer ability to make entries into the health record, including home monitoring).

In order to comply with changing regulations and to improve support for office staff, clinicians, and patients, healthcare organizations worldwide are currently undertaking massive transformations and additions to their IT infrastructure. History suggests that the success of the healthcare applications that emerge from this process will depend to a large degree on the ability of people to use them effectively and efficiently. Human-computer interaction (HCI) research can provide valuable guidance to improve the usability of healthcare IT. Thus, potential exists for HCI researchers to apply existing knowledge to improve healthcare IT as well as to formulate new theories and practices specific to the healthcare context. The goal of this minitrack is to provide a focused outlet at HICSS for HCI researchers in healthcare domains to share and discuss the results of their work. Research is welcomed on any HCI topic relating to healthcare IT. Expanded information is available at: http://www.sba.uwm.edu/RISH/HICSS-HCIinHC.htm
