The IEEE Conference on Business Informatics (CBI), now in its 4th edition, plays an active role in the bootstrap process of the growing scientific and professional communities of the emerging field of Business Informatics. IEEE CBI will be held in Paris (France) from 29 August to 1 September 2016.

The workshop is framed in the main conference topics, being this an exploration of the main topic (Business Informatics) applied in a specific area, healthcare.

The main goal of this workshop is presenting innovative and exciting works and promoting the discussion about how the Intelligent Systems can contribute to improve the quality of the decision process in healthcare. This workshops involves all the topics associated to Business Informatics when applied to healthcare.

The workshop is framed in the main conference topics, being this an exploration of the main topic (Business Informatics) applied in a specific area, healthcare.

The Business goal in Healthcare is increasing the quality of services in healthcare reducing costs. This objective contributes to improving the quality of life of patients, in some cases reducing mortality and morbidity. To achieve this goal, the use of intelligent system in the decision process becomes essential. This workshop is focused on demonstrating how to take advantages of using Computer Intelligence, ensuring interoperability and security, overcoming local and temporal barriers in order to support the society needs and the development of innovative systems and applications to support Healthcare decision support. ISA’Health 2016 will bring together the researchers who are working in the area of Intelligent System and Business Informatics. The cross-domain integration and appraisal of different fields related to Intelligent Systems and Applications provides an atmosphere to foster variety of perspectives and opinions.


This workshop is looking for new and innovative ways to support the decision process in healthcare taking advantages from the use of intelligent systems and applications. ISA’Health is a good opportunity to researchers disseminate their contributions and presenting new and useful solutions to the community.
