Report on ACM Workshop on Health Information and Knowledge Management (HIKM 2006)

ABSTRACT

Health information technology is receiving a tremendous amount of attention as a strategic area that will benefit the society in the 21st century. The continued advances in healthcare such as digitization of medical records, creation of central record systems, development of healthcare data warehouses increasingly pose new challenges to information and knowledge management. The high stakes and unique characteristics of healthcare data such as the long-term value of the data, varied data quality, the complexity of the data, the privacy constraints, as well as the availability requirements in emergent situations require a special treatment of traditional information management techniques.
