*Track:* Health Care IT

*Mini-track: **Technical, Social and Economic issues in Health Information
Exchange*





*DESCRIPTION*

* *

*Introduction:*

* *

*Health information exchanges* (HIE) are commonly understood to be entities
that facilitate the exchange of medical information, electronic medical
records, billing information. There is a wide variation in the level of
software sophistication and services offered by the health information
exchanges that have mushroomed in the United States and in Europe. Usability
and adoption therefore is tempered by this variability. That said they are
also multi-sided platforms that create economic value for the participating
sides. Multi-sided platforms are instruments for co-creation of IT value in
the context of the health care. The broader understanding of HIE also
includes systems such as Microsoft Vault and Google Health.



This track will also accept papers that relate to all topics in the area of
online health communities that facilitate exchange of health information.

*Goal of the Mini-Track:* This goal of this mini-track is to provide a forum
of the exchange of ideas on Health Information Exchanges from an Information
Systems perspective.



*Mini-Track*

* *

Exchanging electronic records requires many technical, socio-technical,
policy and economic issues to be addressed. Typically an exchange
accelerates the data via electronic pipelines hastening the availability of
information at end points where they may be needed. Arguably this reduces
the cost and improves the accuracy of the information at the point of care
delivery thus improving patient safety. There are many stakeholders or sides
to the exchange. The sides include general practitioners, specialist,
laboratories, hospitals, regulatory agencies, insurance companies profiting
from the services provided by the exchange. The value generated is
co-created by participating sides.



We propose that papers addressing the following issues (but not limited to)
are encouraged:



   - Sustainability of HIE
   - Architectures of HIE
   - Interoperability for HIE
   - Ownership, and privacy issues
   - Privacy and anonymity.
   - Adoption and usability issues
   - Role of EHR and EMR in improving HIE performance
   - Social, legal and ethical aspects of HIE
   - Organizational issues in HIE
   - Strategic management issues in HIE
   - Models for IS security implementation for HIE
   - IS Modeling and design with focus on developing security for HIE
   - Legal issues and its impact on HIE adoption and usage
   - Economics issues for HIE
   - Business Value of HIE and co-creation



This track will also accept papers that relate to all topics in the area of
online health communities that facilitate exchange of health information.
