The advancement in biotechnologies and health information technology has created the opportunity to generate and collect digital health-related data. The wide adoption of electronic health record (EHR) systems, smart devices, and social media has produced enormous amounts of data. To utilize the rich data in health care, it is an urgent need to train many qualified Health Informatics (HI) professionals and researchers to manage, explore, analyze, and explain the healthcare data. For that purpose, many new health informatics (HI) education programs have been created in the last decade.
Researchers and educators also have devoted significant time and efforts to explore the best approaches for providing high-quality HI education so that HI graduates can overcome the challenges they face in their careers. However, as an interdisciplinary field, there are different patterns of HI education around the world with various challenges. Moreover, the large amount of health data presents unprecedented opportunities and challenges for training with hands-on experiences on real-world data to solve real-world problems.
To shape the future of health informatics education, the 2023 International Workshop on Health Informatics Education (HI-Edu 2023) will provide a unique platform for close interactions among educators, researchers, students, scholars, and industry professionals who are interested in HI education. HI-Edu 2023 will be a one-day workshop that consists of a keynote speech, two invited talks, podium talks, poster presentations, and a round table discussion. We are calling for full papers (regular and short papers) and abstracts on novel approaches, work in progress, and original state-of-the-art projects in HI education activities, HI education program development, HI education research, tools and resources for HI education, and cases studies.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Regular papers (8-10 pages, references not counted towards the page limit) will describe mature ideas, where a substantial amount of implementation, experimentation, or data collection and analysis has been completed.
- Short papers (4-6 pages, references not counted towards the page limit) will describe innovative ideas, where preliminary implementation and validation work have been conducted.
- Abstract for posters (1 page, including references) will describe work in progress and preliminary results.
Your submissions must adhere to the IEEE Proceedings Format. All papers will be submitted and handled through EasyChair. Submissions must contain the names and affiliations of authors listed on the paper. The review process will be single-blinded.
