Clinical case studies

The call for papers has now closed. Thank you for all the submissions.

650 word overview

Abstracts are invited from practitioners working in a clinical environment about informatics projects aimed at improving the day-to-day delivery of patient care. HIC 2019 introduces to sub-themes of the clinical stream; primary care and hospitals/acute. Projects may focus on clinician workflows, communication, decision support, patient education and safety. Projects ideally have been implemented and evaluated in a clinical setting, and are potentially transferable to other sites.

Submissions are encouraged across a range of healthcare settings including public and private hospitals, nursing, primary care, indigenous, aged and community care and multi-cultural services.
