Special Issue on eHealth and Services Computing in Healthcare
Guest Editors: =
Carolyn McGregor (University of Ontario Institute of Technology, Canada)
Anthony Maeder, (University of Western Sydney, Australia)
Healthcare is often perceived to lag behind other industry sectors in its u=
ptake and adoption of new technology. eHealth is one such technology which =
includes the areas of health informatics, electronic medical/patient record=
s, clinical decision support, telehealth. The main purpose of eHealth is to=
provide better use of information in health care settings, to improve the =
quality of patient care and the efficiency of clinical processes. Many situ=
ations exist where the use of eCommerce principles would be appropriate to =
establish new eHealth solutions, and these warrant extensive research inves=
tigation. Services Computing has b een described as a cross-discipline that=
covers the science and technology of bridging the gap between Business Ser=
vices and IT Services (IEEE Services Computing Community). This role is sup=
ported by Web services and service-oriented architecture (SOA), business co=
nsulting methodology and utilities, business process modelling, transformat=
ion and integration. The goal of Services Computing is to enable IT service=
s and computing technology to perform business services more efficiently an=
d effectively. Opportunities abound for the unique aspects of healthcare to=
drive fundamental computing and IT research together with leading applied =
research within the healthcare domain, that could potentially be reapplied =
to areas outside of healthcare. =
This special issue invites papers with research contributions in the domain=
of eHealth and Services Computing in Healthcare. The topics include but ar=
e not limited to: =
* Trends and Challenges for eHealth and/ or Services Computing in Healthcar=
e
* Case Studies in eHealth and/or Services Computing in Healthcare =
* Impact and benefits of eHealth and Services Computing in Healthcare
* Services Computing for intra and inter organization patient journeys
* Drivers and Barriers for adoption of Service Oriented Architectures in He=
althcare
* Usage of mobile devices and patient surveillance systems for Healthcare S=
ervices
* Patient journey modeling in eHealth and/or Services Computing in Healthca=
re
* Quality of Service and Quality Assurance for eHealth and/or Services Comp=
uting in Healthcare
* Development and deployment of Service Oriented Architectures supporting H=
ealthcare
* Legal and Regulatory requirements concerning electronic delivery of Healt=
hcare Services
* New models of healthcare delivery supported by eHealth and/or Services Co=
mputing
* Healthcare Services performance issues (e.g. Availability, Reliabil ity a=
nd Security)
* Management and monitoring of eHealth and/or Services Computing in Healthc=
are
* Assessment, evaluation and evidence validation issues for Healthcare Info=
rmation Systems
* Design, usability, ethics and other human factor issues for Healthcare In=
formation Systems
* eHealth DBMS implementation issues including security, portability and mo=
bility
Submission: =
Authors are invited to submit original and significant research contributio=
ns in the aforementioned areas. Papers should not be previously published, =
or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts must confor=
