Dear Colleagues,

We kindly invite you to submit your manuscripts to the Cloud Computing for Healthcare minitrack, under the Health Informatics and Health Information Technology (SIGHealth) track of the 2018 AMCIS conference, which will take place on 16-18 August, 2018<http://airmail.calendar/2018-08-16%2012:00:00%20PDT> in New Orleans, LA. Submission deadline is Feb 28, 2018<http://airmail.calendar/2018-02-28%2012:00:00%20PST>. Following is a short description of the minitrack.

Cloud computing provides unique capabilities for organizations because of its elasticity, scalability, and cost effectiveness. Specifically, in healthcare, it can be used to store, access, and process medical data, which in turn can provide better health outcomes for the patients. However, implementation of cloud computing seeks to further that goal.

This minitrack encourages research on current and future challenges and opportunities relating to the implementation of cloud solutions in the healthcare domain. Submissions may focus on electronic health records (EHR) and Health Information Exchange (HIE) on the cloud, edge computing, storage and processing of medical data, wearable devices and mobile applications using cloud solutions, health analytics, and big data on the cloud. Research can look into future directions for cloud computing implementations in healthcare, data retention and data removal from the cloud, as well as strategies to overcome physician resistance in using cloud solutions.

Best Wishes,
