CALL FOR PAPERS

Digital Transformation in Healthcare

2021 Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS)

Virtual Conference, August 9-13, 2021.

AMCIS 2021 Conference Theme: Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship

DESCRIPTION

Healthcare information technology promotes new and improved opportunities
for healthcare providers, and as it becomes more advanced and widely
adopted, it will improve the way healthcare is delivered as well as enhance
patient outcomes. The new concept of digital transformation shifts the
focus from the value embedded in the technology itself, and emphasizes the
use of technology to alter the firm’s value proposition. This in turn
necessitates various changes in the organization, including but not limited
to business processes, strategies, approaches to governance and others.

In the context of healthcare, digital transformation may take on a
different meaning due to the difference between patients and consumers.
Although consumerism is undeniably a force in healthcare, it is not
necessarily a force that improves patient outcomes. Therefore, digital
transformation in healthcare can entail novel approaches to delivering care
driven by consumerism as well as the need to improve patient outcomes,
including those related to patient-centered care or patient engagement.

The aim of this minitrack is to develop a comprehensive view of how patient
outcomes and healthcare experiences can be improved through digital
transformation. Potential topics for this minitrack include those related
to patient experience, care providers, payers, and other key entities in
the healthcare value chain; strategic, managerial, and governance-related
issues associated with digital transformation; cultural transformations
impacted by healthcare IT that influence patient outcomes; and others.


SUBMISSION TYPES

This minitrack will consider submissions of positivist, interpretivist,
pragmatic and critical research, novel theoretical and methodological
approaches, literature reviews, technology evaluations, and position papers.
