*Mini-track:*  ORGANIZATIONAL AND INTER-ORGANIZATIONAL TOPICS IN HEALTHCARE
AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

Within the 49th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS),
we organize a minitrack on Organizational and Inter-organizational topics
in healthcare and information technology.  The 49th HICSS, one of the most
prominent conferences on information systems and sciences worldwide, will
be held January 5-8, 2016, Grand Hyatt Kauai, Hawaii (http://www.hicss.org).

This minitrack explores *organizatio*n and *inter-organizational* topics at
the intersection of healthcare/wellness and information technology broadly
speaking. We welcome papers that theoretically or empirically advance
understanding in these areas. We solicit excellent papers that develop and
expand current knowledge in research areas pertaining to organizational and
inter-organizational health care information technology - such as
organizational strategy in the healthcare/wellness industry, collaboration
and innovation across multiple care organizations, and field-level
transformation in healthcare. Papers can use any acceptable methodology and
theory. We welcome papers at any level of analysis and encourage papers
that take a cross level perspective. Some possible topic areas include but
are not limited to:

·       Understandings of how healthcare executives view/approach IT in
corporate strategy matters and make decisions involving IT
·       Future advancements needed for IT as a strategic resource in
healthcare organizations
·       Advancements in knowledge of how IT facilitates collaboration and
innovation across organizational boundaries in the healthcare industry
·       Challenges for IT in facilitating change in healthcare/wellness
organizations
·       The role of IT solutions in organizational learning in and across
healthcare/wellness organizations
·       The role of IT in organizational and inter-organizational issues in
healthcare
·       Inter-organizational collaboration in coordinating care for patients
·       Studies of new organizational forms and/or inter-organizational
tensions created by the recent emergence of new care delivery models
(patient centered medical homes, accountable care organizations, bundled
payments, pay for performance, etc.)
·       Examinations of the complex processes of change in healthcare
delivery organizations and across multiple healthcare organizations
coordinating care for diverse patient populations
·       Examinations of how healthcare professionals adopt and incorporate
digital solutions into their work practices, including how individual
attributes such as professional values impact use of health IT applications
at a group or organizational level
