New Orleans, LA. August 16-18, 2018, https://amcis2018.aisnet.org/
AMCIS 2018 Conference Theme: Digital Disruption

*Mini-track Description:*

We are at the beginning of a fourth industrial revolution, enabled by
emergence of new and improved digital capabilities. The ‘speed’ and ‘scale’
of changes within industries, such as healthcare, is imminent. Many believe
that digital transformation, defined as digitally-enabled, continuous,
strategic undertaking to significantly improve business processes and
customer engagement, is critical to advance the state of healthcare in
order to improve patient outcomes.

This mini-track seeks to understand the key strategic drivers of digital
transformation for some of the entities in the healthcare value chain,
including providers, payers, and pharmacies. The aim is to develop a
comprehensive view of how patient outcomes and experience can be improved
through digital transformation. This mini-track will consider empirical
research, reviews of current literature, theory, methodology, and relevant
position papers.

- Mid- January, 2018: Manuscript submissions for AMCIS papers begin
