Conference: Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences
Track: Organizational Systems and Technology
Mini-track: ORGANIZATIONAL AND INTER-ORGANIZATIONAL TOPICS IN HEALTHCARE AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
Within the 49th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS), we organize a minitrack on Organizational and Inter-organizational topics in healthcare and information technology. The 49th HICSS, one of the most prominent conferences on information systems and sciences worldwide, will be held January 5-8, 2016, Grand Hyatt Kauai, Hawaii (http://www.hicss.org).
This minitrack explores organization and inter-organizational topics at the intersection of healthcare/wellness and information technology broadly speaking. We welcome papers that theoretically or empirically advance understanding in these areas. We solicit excellent papers that develop and expand current knowledge in research areas pertaining to organizational and inter-organizational health care information technology - such as organizational strategy in the healthcare/wellness industry, collaboration and innovation across multiple care organizations, and field-level transformation in healthcare. Papers can use any acceptable methodology and theory. We welcome papers at any level of analysis and encourage papers that take a cross level perspective. Some possible topic areas include but are not limited to:
- Studies of new organizational forms and/or inter-organizational tensions created by the recent emergence of new care delivery models (patient centered medical homes, accountable care organizations, bundled payments, pay for performance, etc.)
- Examinations of the complex processes of change in healthcare delivery organizations and across multiple healthcare organizations coordinating care for diverse patient populations
- Understandings of how healthcare executives view/approach IT in corporate strategy matters and make decisions involving IT
- Future advancements needed for IT as a strategic resource in healthcare organizations
- Advancements in knowledge of how IT facilitates collaboration and innovation across organizational boundaries in the healthcare industry
- Challenges for IT in facilitating change in healthcare/wellness organizations
- The role of IT solutions in organizational learning in and across healthcare/wellness organizations
- The role of IT in organizational and inter-organizational issues in healthcare
- Inter-organizational collaboration in coordinating care for patients
- Examinations of how healthcare professionals adopt and incorporate digital solutions into their work practices, including how individual attributes such as professional values impact use of health IT applications at a group or organizational level
