ICHI 2013 - CALL FOR PAPERS
IEEE International Conference on Healthcare Informatics
September 9 - 11, 2013      Philadelphia, PA
http://www.ischool.drexel.edu/ICHI2013/

ICHI 2013 is the premier community forum concerned with the application of
computer science principles, information science principles, information
technology, and communication technology to address problems in healthcare,
public health, and everyday wellness. The conference highlights the most
novel technical contributions in computing-oriented health informatics and
the related social and ethical implications. 
ICHI 2013 serves as a venue for the discussion of technical contributions
highlighting end-to-end applications, systems, and technologies, even if
available only in prototype form. We strongly encourage authors to submit
their original contributions describing their algorithmic contributions,
methodological contributions, and well-founded conjectures based on an
application-oriented context. 

Contributions in the realm of social and behavioral issues might include
empirical studies of health-related information use and needs,
socio-technical studies on the implementation and use of health information
technology, studies on health informatics in the context of community impact
and implications, studies on public policies on leveraging health
informatics infrastructure, among others. 

Specific topics of interest for this conference cover various facets of
health informatics research, including but not limited to the following: 
o    Information technologies for healthcare delivery and management 
o    Health data acquisition, management, and visualization 
o    Healthcare knowledge management and decision support 
o    Healthcare modeling and simulation 
o    Data analytics, data mining, and machine learning 
o    Health information system engineering 
o    Health information systems 
o    Healthcare communication networks and environments
o    Interactions with health information technologies
