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. 
 
Recognizing the importance of IS/IT to healthcare in the spirit of 
ubiquitous and collaborative innovation, this research track is 
dedicated to IS/IT in Healthcare (eHealth). We invite submission (by

limited to e-health initiatives, electronic medical records,
