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 and
opportunities for research, including technical, behavioral, and
organizational topics.



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 design and
use of technology as well as non-IT assets such as process changes,
innovative IT artefacts, 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
   -      Design of 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)
   -      Design of technology to support communication for effective
   coordination
   -      Design of technology to measure effective care coordination
   -      Coordinating care for underserved populations
   -      Tele-health solutions to support and promote care coordination
   -       Analytics-based solutions and optimization approaches for care
   coordination
   -       Coordination of healthcare administrative processes, including
   external agencies
