Track:
Information Technology in Health Care
Minitrack: IT Architecture and
Applications in Healthcare
Environments
We invite papers that address IT
applications in healthcare environments, which range from the management,
communication and dissemination of data and information across healthcare
systems to pervasive healthcare settings and intelligent, programmable
spaces of ubiquitous computing healthcare environments. Specific topics of
interest may include the following:
1. Integrated solutions in healthcare:
-
Heterogeneities, architectures and
frameworks in healthcare systems.
-
Complexities, challenges and advances in
sharing data and practices across healthcare systems: implications for
electronic health records and the management of patient information;
availability of clinical and demographic data from primary and secondary
care.
-
Communicating heath-related data:
e-prescriptions, referral and discharge letters, clinical summaries,
laboratory transactions and results reporting; integrated data for
multimedia presentations / intercommunications between medical devices and
healthcare systems; disseminating data to healthcare professionals and
professional caregivers.
-
Sharing data and information for public
health protection and their seamless exchange across diverse health
systems; accessibility, transparency and extraction of patient individual
and aggregate data across primary care, clinical and public healthcare
domains.
-
Healthcare COTS, freeware, shareware and
OSS products’ identification, selection and their use in healthcare
systems.
2. Pervasive healthcare applications:
-
Pervasive healthcare applications:
integrating devices in ubiquitous healthcare environments; service
oriented software solutions across heterogeneous healthcare systems;
context and preference modelling.
-
Intelligent healthcare systems: ontologies
for knowledge and data sharing in healthcare; programmable pervasive
spaces in healthcare; personalisation and context awareness in intelligent
healthcare environments.
-
Examples of applications of pervasive
healthcare: from supporting cognitive behavioural therapies and education
of patients with special needs to remote and continuous patient
physiological and psychological monitoring.
-
Information and knowledge management in
pervasive healthcare settings: from mobile and context aware
communications, to scheduling, awareness and co-ordination systems and
their impact on patient healthcare records.
3. Organisational and management
mechanisms:
-
Accessing and sharing heterogeneous
healthcare repositories or databases for performance management and
clinical governance.
-
Sharing databases for simulation modelling,
data mining, performance analysis and decision-making in healthcare.
-
Consumer centred care: empowering patients;
delivery of personalised health services; moving health information with
consumers/patients; personalising management of illnesses, treatments,
rehabilitation regimes; patient’s access to clinical information.
