Minitrack:       IT-Enabled Healthcare Coordination

Track:             Information Technology in Healthcare



Healthcare coordination involves organizing and sharing information among
all participants involved in patient care in order to provide safer and
more effective care.  It has been identified as a key strategy to improve
effectiveness, safety, and efficiency of healthcare.   While the need for
healthcare coordination is clear, there are many obstacles, including
technical, behavioral, and organizational.



Information technology (IT) has played a role in enhancing productivity
through coordination in many industries, both manufacturing and services.
However, nowhere is this role more critical than in healthcare, where IT
has the potential to improve patient health and, in many cases, save lives,
through improved coordination between various parties such as hospitals,
providers, and patients.  However, use of IT in healthcare presents some
unique challenges and issues. This mini-track will focus on the use of
technology and non-IT assets such as process changes and interoperability
standards to address these challenges to achieve and enable efficient
coordination in healthcare.



We invite papers that focus on, but are not limited to:

·      Challenges and opportunities associated with sharing electronic
health information among multiple stakeholders

·      Impact of privacy and security concerns on coordination

·      Policy and compliance to facilitate health coordination

·      Patient and caregivers participation in coordination of health

·      Participation of payers and other stakeholders’ (pharma, device
manufacturers etc.,) role in supporting coordination of health

·      Integrating medical devices with electronic health records (EHR)
systems

·      Integrating patient engagement and self management tools

·      Information technology to support patient centered medical homes
(PCMH), accountable care organizations, and bundled payments

·      Organizational change management for care coordination

·      Care coordination and patient/population health

·      Impact of IT-enabled care coordination on patient/population health
outcomes (e.g. hospital readmissions, cost efficiency)

·      Technology to support communication for effective coordination

·      Technology to measure effective care coordination

·      Coordinating care for underserved populations

·      Tele-health solutions to support and promote care coordination

·      Analytics-based solutions for care coordination

·      Coordination of healthcare administrative processes, including
external agencies
