We strongly encourage authors to submit <strong>the</strong> orig<strong>in</strong>al contributions where <strong>in</strong>novative ideas,<br />

implementations, and empirical studies are described. The technological contributions can<br />

highlight applications, systems, and methodological issues on <strong>the</strong> development and/or<br />

implementation of collaborative systems <strong>in</strong> healthcare. The social, organizational, and behavioral<br />

contributions can report <strong>the</strong> outcome of empirical studies on technology mediated collaboration<br />

<strong>in</strong> healthcare. Selected papers from this m<strong>in</strong>i-track will be fast tracked to a special issue of<br />

International Journal of Bio-medical Eng<strong>in</strong>eer<strong>in</strong>g and Technology.<br />

The use of collaborative technology <strong>in</strong> healthcare is an emerg<strong>in</strong>g area of research on computer<br />

supported cooperative work (CSCW). A major topic of CSCW 2008 conference was âComputer<br />

Supported Cooperative Care/Health.â We offered a m<strong>in</strong>i-track on âCollaboration Systems and<br />

Technologies <strong>in</strong> Healthcare Teamsâ at HICSS-43. We had one session on <strong>the</strong> m<strong>in</strong>i-track <strong>in</strong> which<br />

<strong>the</strong> proposed ontology was discussed. The audience understood <strong>the</strong> possibility of us<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong><br />

ontology to study <strong>the</strong> diverse types of technology mediated collaborations <strong>in</strong> healthcare. Thus,<br />

we have expanded <strong>the</strong> scope of <strong>the</strong> m<strong>in</strong>i-track and are solicit<strong>in</strong>g papers from a variety of<br />

researchers study<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>se types of collaborations.<br />
