   INTRODUCTION
   The workshop is framed in the main conference topics, being this an
   exploration of the main topic (Business Informatics) applied in a
   specific area, healthcare. The main goal of this workshop is presenting
   innovative and exciting works and promoting the discussion about how
   the Intelligent Systems can contribute to improve the quality of the
   decision process in healthcare. This workshops involves all the topics
   associated to Business Informatics when applied to healthcare.
   The Business goal in Healthcare is increasing the quality of services
   in healthcare reducing costs. This objective contributes to improving
   the quality of life of patients, in some cases reducing mortality and
   morbidity. To achieve this goal, the use of intelligent system in the
   decision process becomes essential.
   This workshop is focused on demonstrating how to take advantages of
   using Computer Intelligence, ensuring interoperability and security,
   overcoming local and temporal barriers in order to support the society
   needs and the development of innovative systems and applications to
   support Healthcare decision support.
   ISA'Health 2016 will bring together the researchers who are working in
   the area of Intelligent System and Business Informatics. The
   cross-domain integration and appraisal of different fields related to
   Intelligent Systems and Applications provides an atmosphere to foster
   variety of perspectives and opinions.
