Supporting and solving healthcare problems need holistically combined methods and insights. Aligning a complex ecosystem of stakeholders with different goals, backgrounds and perspectives, such as care delivery (medicine, home care), IT (communication, hardware, software, media), organizational, economic, legal and user perspectives, is one of the main hurdles to be tackled. <br class=""><br class="">Few focus has been paid to the introduction of efficient and effective processes behind this innovation in order to integrate the solution in this complex care and cure ecosystem. Achieving a truly combined approach on research, product development, process design, management, improvement and optimization, and measurement system through key performance indicators (KPIs) when introducing pervasive healthcare systems still proves to be challenging.<br class=""><br class="">This workshop aims to bring together a diverse public on this topic to exchange knowledge and showcase the benefits of process thinking in care & cure environment to discuss case studies, and to develop guidelines on stimulating interdisciplinary cooperation and best practices how to avoid pitfalls.<br class=""><br class=""><br class="">** Topics<br class="">------------------------------------------------------------<br class="">Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:<br class=""><br class=""></p><div class="">Different perspectives on the process oriented approach: User, Technology, Legal, Organisational, Economics, Information Systems<div class="">* Design principles, tools & methodologies</div><div class="">* Technology acceptance & performance</div><div class="">* Modelling techniques</div><div class="">* Declarative and rules modelling of healthcare processes<br class=""></div><div class="">* Process integration and strategic alignment<br class=""></div><div class="">* Measurement and evaluation<br class=""></div><div class="">* Optimization techniques<br class=""></div><div class="">* Lean management<br class=""></div><div class="">* Fit with business models & valorisation strategies<br class=""></div><div class="">* Cost/benefit analysis<br class=""></div><div class="">* Change management strategies in organizations<br class=""></div><div class="">* Social and societal implications<br class=""></div><div class="">* Regulatory issues<br class=""></div><div class="">* Privacy, security, and trust<br class=""></div><div class="">* Organization management<br class=""></div><div class="">* Other perspectives</div></div><p class="">Case Studies<br class="">* Presentation and lessons learned (best practices / bottlenecks) of cases where a process oriented approach was introduced in a pervasive healthcare setting</p><p class="">Tools and demos</p><p class="">* Presentation of tools that support the project oriented approach e.g. interoperability between IT systems, BPMN and Declare modelling and simulation tools, KPI dashboard systems, etc.</p><p class=""><br class=""><br class="">** Author timeline<br class="">------------------------------------------------------------<br class="">Paper submission:<br class="">March 15th, 2015<br class=""><br class="">Acceptance notification:<br class="">March 31st, 2015<br class=""><br class="">Final paper submission<br class="">April 10th, 2015<br class=""><br class=""><br class=""><br class="">** Submission guidelines<br class="">----------</p></body></html>
