Workshop Setting:

Unlike last year’s mini conference approach, the emphasis will be on discussion and exchange of ideas. We have hopes that this workshop will stimulate the production of a joint publication (e.g. a volume of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science) on the appropriate selection of evaluation methods for IT in healthcare and their effective application. This workshop will bring together experts from diverse areas to work on common scenarios, with the goal of facilitating continuing discussions and future collaboration.

General Theme:

Medicine and Healthcare are currently subject to exceedingly rapid technological change, especially information technology (IT) is continually penetrating into and driving this healthcare. A variety of new healthcare concepts for supporting and assisting users in technology-enhanced environments emerged in the last decade. While smart healthcare systems can help to minimize hospital stays and in doing so enable patients an independent life in a domestic environment, the complexity of such systems raises fundamental questions of behavior, communication and technology acceptance.

Specific focus:

Following the 1st Workshop HCI4MED at HCI 2008 in Liverpool, in 2009, we focus on one extremely important topic: Evaluation of IT in Healthcare. Following a case-based approach, we will discuss and review diverse methods of evaluation from various perspectives. Researchers from different disciplines will work on the interrelation of medical, environmental, technical, communicative, psychological and social factors and their consequences for the design, use and acceptance of smart IT in healthcare systems.
The participants of this workshop will gain insight into whether and to what extent, different healthcare applications have the potential to contribute towards enhancing the performance on three levels: patients/caregivers; clinicians and hospital managers. Moreover, it is of vital importance that evaluation results are integrated into engineering at a systemic level in order to impact future IT: as well as understanding the issues that stakeholders can and do encounter, we need to ensure that effective solutions are engineered. It is particularly important for Medical Information Systems to be designed with the appropriate awareness of the diversity of the end users.
