Healthcare as we know it is increasingly unaffordable and incapable of dealing with emerging population dynamics. Information Systems play an important role in healthcare transformation to meet current and future needs. As healthcare expands to address wellness as well as treatment in a more patient-centric context, aspects of content and process as well as technology all enter into ISD considerations. The conference focuses on mutual influences between information systems and organizational structures, processes and people in promoting research on methodological issues and ways in which IS designers and developers are transforming organizations and society through information systems.
