CFP: HICSS-32, Physician's Desktop
==================================================================
CALL FOR PAPERS
Information Overload on the Physician's Desktop
Part of the IT in Health Care Track of the 32nd Annual Hawai'i
International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS) at Maui, HI -
January 5-8, 1999
===================================================================
The ubiquity of data networks and desktop computing means that doctors
can have on-line access to a cornucopia of possibly relevant
information such as hospital admission records, lab results, practice
guidelines, and medical research literature. How do we best present
the available information so doctors see the relevant, desired and
important facts at the right time without unreasonable effort?
Papers are requested that provide solutions (preferably with
demonstrations of success in clinical practice) to the management of
large amounts of information in clinical workstation environments.
Especially of interest are studies concerning integration of diverse
information sources, practice guidelines, and/or longitudinal views of
medical histories and observations. Topics of interest include, but
are not limited to:
-- Interfaces to the electronic medical record
-- Networks and electronic records structures that support
integration of diverse sources of clinical information
-- Systems that support coordinated care by integrating information
from across care providers
-- Longitudinal views of medical histories and observations
-- Methods of displaying, filtering and contextualizing practice
guidelines
-- Problem-oriented search methods in vast clinical repositories
(notably, the Web itself)
-- Evidence Based Medicine repositories
-- Drug interaction, alert and reminder systems with emphasis on the
user interface
-- Multimodal clinical workstations (e.g., integrating textual records,
teleconferencing, and image retrieval)
-- Clinical workstation usability
