Call for Papers

The 7th International Conference on Health Information Science (HIS 2018) provides a forum for disseminating and exchanging multidisciplinary research results in computer science/information technology and health science & services. HIS 2018 aims to integrate computer science/information technology with health sciences & services, embracing information science research coupled with topics related to the modelling, design, development, integration, and management of health information systems and health services. It covers all aspects of the health information sciences and the systems that support the health information management and health service delivery.

The Scope Includes:
1. Medical/health/biomedicine information resources, such as patient medical records, devices and equipment, software and tools to capture, store, retrieve, process, analyse, and optimize the use of information in the health domain;

2. Data management, data mining, and knowledge discovery (in the health domain), all of which play a key role in decision making, management of public health, examination of standards, privacy and security issues;

3. Development of new architectures and applications for health information systems.

Topics Include, but are not Limited to:

* Information systems including electronic health records, hospital information systems, data exchange and integration

* Health service delivery, workflow

* Data mining, knowledge discovery, decision making support

* System interoperability, ontology and standardization

* Bioinformatics

* Biomedical informatics, brain informatics, imaging informatics

* Telemedicine, health data management

* Health database and information-system integration

* Health information extraction, health information services

* Health information-system modeling, design, and development

* Health information visualization

* Support tools and languages for health information-system development

* Information system interfaces

* Data integration, data processing

* Data federation, sharing, and mining

* E-health care delivery

* Distributed computing, pervasive computing

* Information storage and retrieval

* Innovative applications

* Integration of heterogeneous information sources

* Agent systems

Short papers (Opinion papers) describe a well-founded new approach to a research topic, however, the research itself may be in its early stages of development, and plausible expected results or observed preliminary results should be reported, but no final results are required.

We solicit your submissions in English for unpublished research papers on any aspect of the health information sciences and systems.
