[AISWorld] Information Technology for Global Health: CFP FOR *NEW* AMCIS MINITRACK

[Michael Dohan]

*Call for Papers*


 AMCIS 2014: 20th Americas Conference on Information Systems


Savannah, Georgia, August 7-10, 2014


Track: Healthcare Information Systems and Technology


Mini-track: *Information Technology for Global Health*


 You are invited to submit a paper to the AMCIS 2014 conference to the
mini-track on: *"Information Technology for Global Health",* mini-track at
the 20th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) to be held in
Savanna Georgia on August 7-10, 2014.

As global interconnectedness increases, the impact of health problems are
not efficiently addressed from a purely national standpoint. Therefore, a
concerted effort among governments, multidisciplinary efforts, and other
institutions, in efforts that span national boundaries, is the new emerging
approach to deal with these issues. This approach, known as global health,
entails using this multidimensional approach to address transnational
health issues, specifically including HIV/AIDS, rural healthcare service
delivery, and other health issues affecting the world population.


This minitrack will explore emerging trends for applying innovative health
IT solutions to improve general population and community healthcare across
the globe, including low-cost, mobile and other emerging health
technological applications. These solutions will provide a multinational
perspective on the benefits of mobile health and other emerging information
technologies and describes different examples and applications implemented.
This minitrack will consider empirical research, reviews of current
literature, theory, methodology, as well as relevant position papers.


The following types of submissions will be considered:

   - Reviews of global health IT development
   - Comparisons of regional strategies and applications
   - Proposals for development, extensions and improvements of global
   health innovations and solutions
   - Examination of strategies and approaches of technology transfer among
   different countries (e.g, global health IT governance; multi-national
   health services networks and architectures, open source applications, etc.)
   - Analytics, data science, data mining or intelligence studies related
   to global health
   - Studies on the impact of the adoption of innovative (e.g., low-cost)
   technologies
   - Specific applications, including epidemiological surveillance systems,
   emergency and disaster response systems, and chronic disease management
   systems
   - Public health and environmental health monitoring and tracking systems
   - Methodological issues pertaining to the evaluation of global health
   technologies and initiatives
   - Socio-cultural-policy assessments of Health IT priorities
   - Trans-jurisdictional issues surrounding the implementation of Health
   technologies and initiatives
   - Impact of regional strategies and culture of nature and styles of
   Health IT implementation
