<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Track: Innovations in Healthcare IS<p></p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Peurto Rico, August 13-15, 2015<p></p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Electronic Medical/Health Records (EMRs/EHRs) are a critical component of the American health-care system, supporting doctor-patient interactions by providing instant access to
a variety of documents such as historical record of past treatments and conditions, patient billing, disputes and legal inquiries.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt"> The use of EMRs/EHRs faces distinctive challenges in large and small hospital settings
alike, despite the many novel approaches adapted by these organizations for its design and implementation</span><span style="font-size:11.0pt">. Notably, vendors offer many EMR/EHR offerings depending on the type of practice; however anecdotal evidence points
out that implementing these solutions has been fraught with serious challenges in terms of delivering meaningful use. These differences highlight the need for in-depth multi-level examination of how large, ambulatory and smaller healthcare practices innovate
in the design and use of EMR/EHR systems.<p></p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The focus of this mini-track is on research on EMRs/EHRs in healthcare practices of various types such as large, ambulatory and smaller practices,
that furthers our understanding of (1) Innovations in systems, processes and strategies for implementing EMR/EHR (2) New initiatives in electronic exchange of healthcare information among different stakeholders, (3) Innovative approaches to integration of
mobile devices and medical devices with healthcare systems 4) Novel approaches to security and privacy issue associated with EMR/EHR in healthcare organizations.<p></p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The mini-track is open to broad survey articles, case studies, conceptual papers, descriptive reports, focused research issues analyzed using a variety
of tools and empirical methodologies including, but not limited to survey, experimental design, workflow and other forms of business process modeling, interviews, content analysis, and various qualitative approaches. You are welcome to submit work that is
not fully completed as long as the importance of the problem is well-established, paper is well articulated and fits with the themes of the research track. However, completed research will receive precedence.</span><b></b></p>
