Call for Chapters

Impacts of Information Technology on Patient Care and Empowerment

To be published by IGI Global in 2019 or 2020

Overview

Health care today has been irrevocably altered by patient access to information technology. Not only to do patients seek out health-related information using Internet-based sources, they also expect to have access to technology that facilitates all aspects of their health care experiences. These expectations range from information availability prior to interaction with their health care providers, extends into their waiting room experiences, their physician interactions, their treatment options and choices, procedural and decision-making matters, and subsequent follow-up care. Gamification, Internet of Things, Mobile Computing, Big Data, Social Media and other technologies form the core of their expectations. More than ever, patients are empowered to shape their own health care experiences and this trend shows no signs of slowing down or reversing. This book provides a snapshot of current patient experience-centered research areas and offers ideas for the future of this field. Health-related information technologies have created new venues for patients and their families to interact with health care providers, actively manage their care, subsequently experience better outcomes. These new technologies offer new ways for physicians to partner with their patients in improve quality of care in a transformative way. This book examines existing challenges as well as potential opportunities for improving patient care, empowerment, personalization, and outcomes through emerging health information technology.
