Our ability to deliver timely, effective and cost efficient healthcare services remains one of the world's foremost challenges.
The challenge has numerous dimensions including: (a) the need to develop a highly functional yet secure electronic health record
system that integrates a multitude of incompatible existing systems, (b) in-home patient support systems to reduce demand on
professional health-care facilities, and (c) innovative technical devices such as advanced pacemakers that support other
healthcare procedures. Responding to this challenge will necessitate increased development and usage of software-intensive
systems in all aspects of healthcare services. However the increased digitization of healthcare has identified extensive
requirements related to the development, use, evolution, and integration of health software in areas such as the volume
and dependability of software required, and the safety and security of the associated devices. The goal of the fifth
workshop on Software Engineering for Health Care (SEHC) is to discuss recent research innovations and to continue developing
an interdisciplinary community to develop a research, educational and industrial agenda for supporting software engineering
in the health care sector.
Workshop Program
At the 2011 SEHC we began development of a framework for SEHC. A Wiki with our progress to date is at
https://xserve.cs.uvic.ca/wiki/projects/sehcwiki/SEHC_Community_Wiki.html. At the 2012 workshop we
continued to develop the agenda and identified specific challenges to software engineering to support healthcare delivery.
The challenges are: system
quality, compliance and regulatory issues, revolution of the software development process, medical process support and
improvement, data management and analytics, enabling a global reach of healthcare delivery, and software support for the
transformation of healthcare delivery (i.e. evidence based medicine, patient centered care, assisted living, patient safety).
For the 2013 SEHC workshop we invite submissions that explore the above challenges (as well as other software engineering
topics relevant to health care systems and processes) and the role that software engineering plays in developing solutions
to address them.
With the above topics as a starting point, the SEHC 2013 workshop invites broad participation from people who are actively
involved in research and development of software engineering in healthcare. To accommodate for the participation of projects
in different stages of maturity, we seek a variety of contributions, including:
1. Short papers (up to 4 pages long) -- short papers include contributions that may report initial research results that
might not yet be mature enough for a full research paper or position papers that presents forward looking ideas/concepts.
2. Tool descriptions (up to 4 pages long) -- tool papers report on tools that support one or more aspects of engineering
health-related software systems.
3. Clinical case studies (up to 7 pages long) -- clinical case studies report on case studies that involve applying and
evaluating software engineering techniques in a clinical setting.
4. Research results papers (up to 7 pages long) -- research papers describe novel results related to one or more topics of the workshop.
Papers should be submitted to the workshop's EasyChair site:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sehc2013
Please indicate in the subtitle of your paper to which of the categories you are submitting.
Papers must follow IEEE formatting guidelines: http://2013.icse-conferences.org/content/submission-guidelines
All submissions will be reviewed by the Program Committee. All accepted submissions will be published in the ACM and IEEE
Digital Libraries and will appear in the companion volume of the ICSE 2013 Proceedings.
