Articles on various topics plus the following special sections. Health Informatics and Telemedicine Feature Editor: Laurie C. Clark, D.O. Center for Health Sciences Oklahoma State University E-mail: laurie.clark at okstate.edu Focus: Advances in communications technology have increased the ability of health professionals and health care institutions and public health agencies to rapidly retrieve, analyze, use, and exchange large amounts of a variety of types of health information including patient records, diagnostic images, and population databases. Technology has also provided additional means of communicating health information to patients and the public. The organization, storage, transmission, display and use of health care data in decision making requires knowledge and skills taught in the fields of informatics and telemedicine. This part of Academic Exchange Quarterly focuses on unique and creative solutions to instructional issues that arise when teaching in the frontier of the fields of health informatics and telemedicine. The range of topics was expanded to include manuscripts that: 1) describe the use of, access to, or the evaluation of any method of distance education in the education and training of health professionals, 2) describe innovative uses of telemedicine or informatics in patient care, institutions or agencies, or that discuss key issues in the use of telehealth or informatics. Who Should Submit: Manuscripts are sought that deal with topics such as, but not limited to, those raised by the following questions. What unique, creative instructional methods, programs, or curriculum are being used in clinical, lab or classroom settings to teach informatics and telemedicine to health care professionals? How are the policy and ethical issues raised by health informatics and telemedicine being taught? How do financial constraints affect the instructional process? Manuscripts are also sought that describe evaluations (quantitative or qualitative) of informatics and telemedicine instructional programs. Please identify your submission with keyword: HEALTH Submission deadline: any time until the end of May 2007; see details for other deadline options like early, regular, and short.

This is the 5th revision of our survey (completed August 2006), and is available at http://ils.unc.edu/informatics_programs/. This is part of the most utilized and most comprehensive survey of academic informatics programs in the US. Earlier versions of the survey results and the methodology have been published in the Journal of the American Society of Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T), Feb 2005, ( http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/fulltext/109865657/PDFSTART). This site generally receives many thousands of visits each year, particularly by students looking for graduate programs in informatics. We strive to incorporate all relevant information, and to accurately represent it. We would appreciate your review of these most recent survey results, and would welcome any feedback or suggestions you may have for us. Please send any comments to Brad Hemminger (bmh at ils.unc.edu). The current survey of Medical Informatics programs, along with our other informatics surveys can be found at: http://ils.unc.edu/informatics_programs/ Sincerely, Brad Hemminger Bradley Hemminger Ph.D. Assistant Professor School of Information and Library Science 206A Manning Hall University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, North Carolina 27599-3360 (919) 966-2998 (919) 962-8071 (fax) bmh at ils.unc.edu Joint Appointment in the Carolina Center for Genome Sciences http://genomics.unc.edu Bioinformatics at School of Information and Library Science http://ils.unc.edu/bioinfo Digital Libraries at UNC-CH http://ils.unc.edu/cradle -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

CALL FOR CHAPTERS Proposal Submission Deadline: February 28, 2007 PATIENT-CENTERED E-HEALTH A book edited by Dr. Vance Wilson, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee INTRODUCTION healthcare providers and affiliated organizations are facing a patient population that is increasingly health-conscious and Internet-dependent. Although many providers have set up informational e-health websites, patients and their caregivers want more. Drawing from their experiences with other online industries, patients desire a wide range of e-health services, including communication, consultation, peer-support, personal health record management, and online access to scheduling, billing, lab results, insurance handling, and prescription services. And as an increasing portion of medical bills comes to be paid directly by patients, this brings opportunity and incentive for patients to obtain the services they desire. Healthcare providers will have to respond to patient-driven market pressures, and this need motivates research and development in the area of patient-centered e-health. OBJECTIVE OF THE BOOK This book is intended to define the emerging field of patient-centered e-health. It will draw from multiple research disciplines to lay out a foundation for future study, providing conceptual and theoretical foundations as well as applied design examples. TARGET AUDIENCE Academic readers will represent researchers, teachers, and students in supporting fields, including Health Informatics, Information Systems, Computer Science, User-Centered Design, Health Sociology, and Health Communications. Practitioner readers include health IT and e-health program managers. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to) the following: Conceptual Foundations, including * What patients want in a changing world * E-health and healthcare marketing * Integrating e-health with health IS * User-centered design in e-health * E-health adoption and continued use * Knowledge management in e-health * Governmental policy and e-health Design Applications, including * Personal health records * E-prescribing * Patient-physician online communication * Ubiquitous computing * Online monitoring and diagnostics * Peer-support applications * Community and government applications SUBMISSION PROCEDURE Prospective authors are invited to submit a 2-5 page manuscript proposal explaining the topic and direction of the proposed chapter by February 28, 2007. Authors will be notified by March 31, 2007 regarding the outcome of their proposals. Completed chapter manuscripts in MS Word format are due on or before July 15, 2007.
