Dear openEHR-technical: Please consider the call below (first call for abstracts, call for papers will come some time in April) for HICSS-39. The IT in Health Care track at HICSS (see http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/HICSS39/fitcfp.htm) has this 'Consumer Health Informatics, Patient Safety and Quality of Practice' minitrack which I run, and there's also a 'Data and Knowledge Management in Health Care' minitrack. I'd like to see more detailed work concerning EHR content getting out to the literature. HICSS is well-indexed through IEEE. If there's an applied consumer or safety focus (including guideline and protocol adherence), it should fit my minitrack; or more technical contributions may fit the other. (And of course, I assume you may be doing other things than openEHR per se.) At any rate, the Abstracts phase is aimed at allowing me to give advice on specific paper proposals regarding fit and how to develop the full paper.
Cheers, Jim Warren University of South Australia ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thirty-Ninth Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS-39) Minitrack in Consumer Health Informatics, Patient Safety and Quality of Practice Information Technology in Health Care Track January 4-7, 2006 Hyatt Regency Kauai, Hawaii Co-Chairs: Jim Warren, Gordana Culjak and Cynthia LeRouge Healthcare information systems are expected to help reduce medical errors, improve quality of patient care, facilitate accessibility to care, and enhance patient safety. Toward this end, healthcare information systems are increasingly supporting evidence-based medicine and patient-centric technologies, including improved monitoring of patient outcomes and adverse events, as well as efforts to better inform and empower healthcare consumers themselves to work for better outcomes. Submissions are welcome concerning all aspects of consumer health informatics and consumer-centric technologies or studies aimed at improving patient safety and quality of care, including: - Supporting consumers taking an active role in understanding, deciding about and/or managing their health; - Doctor-patient communication; - Clinical guideline and protocol support; - Monitoring and prevention of adverse events; and - Electronic health records - especially, security and privacy, access control rights, and consumer ability to make entries into the health record (including home monitoring) At this time we invite submission of 300 word abstracts of proposed manuscripts for subsequent review. We are also interested in any expressions of interest to serve as paper reviewers for the minitrack. Key Dates: 15 April 2005 (optional) - Authors submit abstracts to the minitrack chairs (email or fax) for feedback on appropriateness and direction on development of full manuscript. 15 June 2005 - Authors submit papers in publication format, using the Peer Review System's file submission site, according to the instructions to be posted on the HICSS web site (see http://www.hicss.hawaii.edu/). 15 August 2005 - Acceptance/Rejection decision to authors. 15 September 2005 - Final papers due to Peer Review System.
