The 2024 International Workshop on Health Informatics Education (HI-Edu 2024)
in Conjunction with the 12th IEEE International Conference on Healthcare
Informatics ICHI 2024
June 3, 2024, Orlando, FL, USA
Overview
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 2024 International
Workshop on Health Informatics Education (HI-Edu 2024) will
provide a unique platform for close interactions
among educators, researchers, students, scholars, and industry professionals
who are interested in HI education. HI-Edu 2024 will be a one-day workshop that
consists of a keynote speech, an invited talk, podium talks, and poster
presentations.
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.
