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 15^th/16^th, 2021 (more details coming soon).

The Context Sensitive Health Informatics Conference 2021 will open up on the 15^th of November on the online platform Topia where participants are able to view digital infographics of accepted papers to the conference and leave their comments for discussion. At the end of the day a meet and greet is organized for students within the field and the opportunity to discuss their current challenges within Medical Informatics and Human and Organizational research. On the 16^th of November we will start with a keynote on Sustainable healthcare and challenges for Human and Organizational Factors researchers and practitioners. Thereafter, two blocks of café sessions are scheduled where presenters will pitch and discuss their research projects. The day will be concluded with the awards for the Context Sensitive Health Informatics Prizes 2021.

The program can be downloaded here.

Tuesday November 16th

9:00 - 9:15: ‘Day Opening’

9:15 - 10:00 CET Keynote: Sustainable eHealth – Implications of the future Marieke Sijm
Today’s challenge is to develop and implement solutions for organizing a more sustainable health care system and effectively mitigating the adverse health effects of global warming and pollution. Solutions that help to realize ‘green’ care in terms of lower carbon emission, circular work, reduced medicine pollution and healthy environments for both patients and professionals. Human and organizational research and practice may provide these solutions for this purpose but its potential to contribute to combatting global climate change needs attention. Marieke Sijm is the Lean program manager Healthcare at the academic medical center in Amsterdam and Assistant Professor in "Medical Informatics". Based on her background as a Master Black Belt Lean in Healthcare and research experience, she will provide a keynote on the foundations for lean and green healthcare.

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?

The CSHI conference encourages but does not restrict submissions on the theme "the role of informatics in global pandemics". Submissions on other themes are also welcome, specifically 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.
  

You are invited to submit a full paper - 5 pages max. (abstract 100-200 words) - on an original research or a work-in progress relevant to the theme. Accepted papers will be published in a web-only, full open access IOS Press series of “Studies in Health Technology and Informatics” and indexed in PubMed. Papers should be formatted to IOS Press requirements that are available below. Submissions will open on May 1^st, 2021 and close on July 21^th July 15^th, 2021.
