[Iefac.list] Call for papers for the Special Issue of IISE Transactions on Healthcare Systems Engineering on Digital Health

[Oguzhan Alagoz]

Dear Colleagues,
I am writing to call your attention to an exciting upcoming special issue of IISE Transactions on Healthcare Systems Engineering. As you may already know, Society for Health Systems (SHS), a part of IISE, is the preeminent organization for healthcare engineers including many academics and IEs from industry. Our journal and SHS has decided to organize a special issue that focuses on the IE applications related to Digital Health. This special issue will publish articles on the implementation science of digital transformation as well as innovation in digital healthcare solutions. More information on the topics of interest are listed below.

I hope you will consider submitting your relevant work to this exciting special issue, that will showcase IE contributions to the field.

I am ccing this email to the guest editors for the special issue, Jennifer Percival from University of Massachusetts-Lowell and Tarun Lal from Atrium Health who is also serving as the president of SHS. I am very grateful to both for their support to our journal and organizing this special issue.

Feel free to contact the guest editors if you have any questions.

Thank you!
Oguz

IISE Transactions on Healthcare Systems Engineering
Special Issue Call for Papers
Digital Health

Description:
Technology, data-driven knowledge, and consumerism will establish the next generation of health care.  To thrive in this environment, organizations must break through the old paradigm, understand the shifting market, and seize the opportunities to transform health care to leverage technologies and be more consumer-focused. While COVID-19 has proven healthcare's natural evolution into the digital age, there is much work ahead of us to continue to advance the business model for digital care, patient acceptance, user experience, and clinician adoption.
Continued execution of robust digital care is a transformational change that requires integration and coordination of professional, support and administrative staffs, sophisticated clinical and information technology, critical processes and inventories, and facility resources in a standardized fashion which cannot be accomplished without analytics, change management, and process engineering support. To support this national and international strategic priority, this special issue will focus on examining innovative telehealth and clinical automation, measuring the use and scalable developments, business process guidance, market research, and the economic impact of digital health innovations in an evolving health technology sector. We invite applied articles that feature original research, pilot studies, case use, best practices and perspectives from medical, technical, allied health, policy, safety, economic, strategic, education, and social impact disciplines.
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following two categories.
Category I: Implementation science of Digital Transformation

  *   Systems Engineering for implementation and ongoing use of Technological platforms
  *   Impact on staffing models by use of digital technology
  *   Use cases and pilot studies showing process improvement and staff satisfaction by use of technology
  *   Frameworks for the adoption of digital technology and analytics in healthcare
  *   Business Models and Payment Innovation for reducing the cost of care using technology
  *   Human Factors Engineering models and methods for the analysis of healthcare work
  *   Impact on disparities in care delivery and mitigation strategies
  *   Impact on access to care
Category II: Innovation of Digital Healthcare Solutions

  *   Use of data for real-time patient monitoring and diagnosis
  *   Artificial Intelligence for Disease Diagnosis and Prediction
  *   Standardization of care delivery models and pathways through the use of prescriptive analytics
  *   Machines as decision support, not solutions
Submissions:
All papers should be submitted through the journal's ScholarOne online submission website (https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/uhse). During the online submission process, please indicate that the submission is for this special issue. There will be a prompt for this on the submission website.
