Track Description:
Information systems (IS) and technology (IT) innovations offer significant potential to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery and practice by enhancing interactions between patients/caregivers and providers, by enabling greater access to the latest advancements in treatments, and by empowering new organizational forms not previously conceived of within the industry; all transforming care delivery. Consistent with the 2015 "blue ocean" conference theme, the primary focus of the healthcare track is promoting research into groundbreaking technology innovations and applications within the healthcare sector, while incorporating interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches beyond traditional IS and healthcare information technology (HIT) disciplines. Academic efforts showcased should demonstrate novel work within the IS discipline as well as reference perspectives including computer science, economics, organizational behavior, public policy, public health, software/electrical engineering, management, and strategy. We solicit novel completed research and research in progress that address opportunities and challenges in the current healthcare sector via innovative technological and methodological approaches thereby contributing to the existing knowledge base.
