PACIS 2014 -- Chengdu, China, June 24-28, 2014 Conference Track on IS/IT in Healthcare (eHealth)

Today’s healthcare industry globally is facing numerous challenges pertaining to financial, demographic and technology issues surrounding distribution, access, and delivery of healthcare services. Achieving excellence in healthcare which lies in the provision of superior access, quality and value has become the priority on the agenda for any healthcare reform initiative. Such reform and the promise of superior healthcare delivery can only be realised through the prudent design, development and implementation of various IS/IT initiatives. Hence, the impact on the healthcare sector of IS/IT initiatives, primarily in the form of eHealth, electronic medical records and healthcare portals is not only significant but also far reaching.
