The Context Sensitive Health Informatics (CSHI) conference focuses on Human and Socio-technical approaches to health technology and healthcare delivery considering the specificity of their context(s).
The CSHI conference is co-organized every two years by the Human Factors Engineering - HFE and Organizational and Social Issues - OSI working groups of the International Medical Informatics Association - IMIA.
Due to the current pandemic context, CSHI 2021 will be held virtually on November 15th/16th, 2021 (more details coming soon).
The conference theme is: “The Role of Informatics in Global Pandemics”– The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted many global industries, none more so than healthcare. COVID-19 has necessitated the need for health informatics innovations that can bridge time and space in order to provide timely care. It has also emphasized the need for a system level informatics infrastructure that supports the healthcare management of populations at a macro level while also providing the necessary support for front line care delivery at a micro level. While COVID-19 has necessitated change at a fast pace, it does not remove the need for an evidence base to support the health technologies that are implemented. This issue raises fundamental questions such as how do we deliver the informatics tools that are needed while also ensuring the quality and safety of such tools?
Considering the above question, the CSHI conference encourages (but does not restrict) submissions in the following topics:
- contextual awareness and ergonomics,
- human and socio-technical factors,
- informatics, data management,
- public health,
- patient safety,
- quality management and regulation,
- innovative technology for patients and professionals.
