CALL FOR PAPERS
“Place” & 21st Century Health Care Research:
Concepts, Methods, and Findings
June 11-13, 2002,
University of Toronto,
Toronto CANADA
A Collaborative Workshop Sponsored by the
Canadian Institutes of Health Research
Strategic Training Program in Health Care, Technology & Place
Fiscal, demographic, and social pressures, together with technological,
medical and pharmacological advances have reconfigured the places used for
health care in the 21st Century.
The structure and function of many traditional health care settings like
hospitals and long-term care institutions have been modified and many health
care services and interventions are now available online and in places
where people live, work, shop, and attend school. Moreover, it is
increasingly unnecessary for care providers and recipients to be proximal in
space for health promotion, diagnostic, therapeutic, acute, palliative, and
rehabilitative care to occur.
Under such circumstances, the social, spatial, and clinical relations of
health care have been altered irrevocably.
The CIHR Strategic Training Program in Health Care, Technology & Place at
the University of Toronto welcomes contributions that explore and evaluate
these transformations in contemporary health care.
We welcome the submission of proposals for panel sessions or papers (20
minutes). All pertinent disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives are
welcome.
Papers are invited which address: the clinical, physiological, geographical,
psychological, socio-cultural, ethical, economic, legal, and/or political
consequences of using a range of settings to provide and receive health
care. Special attention may be paid to: means and methods for receiving
health care in non-traditional settings; new roles and practices for care
providers in transformed and non-traditional settings; the use of
information and communications technologies to enhance health outcomes; and
the effects of "place" on health care access and quality. The implications
of permeable boundaries and relationships among various types of care
providers, recipients, technologies, and places should be addressed.
Methodological/conceptual inquiry pertaining to interdisciplinary research
on health care and place is also strongly encouraged.
MSc/MA, Doctoral, and Post-Doctoral submissions are strongly encouraged.
