Since 2009, patients have had increasing opportunities to use online media for communicating with their physicians. The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of two factors - person centredness and healthcare provider qualifications - on outcomes related to patient-provider communication through EMR systems. We designed a 3 × 2 factorial study to examine the effects of person centredness and source qualifications (MD, PA) on patient satisfaction and adherence intentions, as well as perceived healthcare provider credibility, assertiveness, and responsiveness. Participants (n = 148) completed an online questionnaire after reading a hypothetical email conversation with a healthcare provider. Results revealed main effects of person centredness on satisfaction, adherence intentions, perceived assertiveness, and perceived responsiveness, as well as significant main effects of source qualifications on source credibility and perceived assertiveness. Results also revealed significant interaction effects between person centredness and source qualifications on all outcomes but perceived assertiveness. Practical implications are discussed.

Process mining is a promising approach that turns event logs into valuable insights about processes. One domain amenable to process mining is healthcare, where an enormous amount of data is generated by care processes, but where realistic care models are seldom available. In this paper, we perform a systematised literature review (SdLR) to assess the status of process mining, particularly in healthcare. We first provide an overview of process mining in general, and in healthcare in particular. On the basis of 2371 research publications related to process mining, obtained by querying six relevant search engines in May 2016, we found that the trend of publications in this domain has been growing over the past decade, especially in healthcare. Among the 11 existing literature reviews on process mining selected for further analysis, only two are systematised, and only three relate to healthcare. This paper contributes a systematised review in healthcare that is much needed to fill this void. Important challenges specific to healthcare are identified, and threats to the validity of the results are also discussed.

The Internet is a relatively new medium for disseminating health information. Most studies on Internet usage for disseminating health information were carried out in developed countries. Very few studies were carried out in developing countries. This study was designed to investigate the quantitative and qualitative information about health related websites in Sri Lanka. Google and Yahoo search engines were used to search for Sri Lankan health websites. The key words used were 'Sri Lanka health', 'Sri Lanka medicine', Sri Lanka drug', 'Sri Lanka treatment'. Ninety eight websites were selected and data collected from 86 of these websites which were online during the period of data collection. Results show that 87.2% of websites contained less than 100 web pages. 39.5% and 20.9% of websites were owned by local non-business organizations and business organizations, respectively while 61.6% of websites were non-profitable websites. 93% of the websites were published only in English. Only 8.1% of websites provide health educational content for general public as their main content. 64.4% of websites are controlled by a Sri Lankan or a Sri Lankan organization. Quality Score is higher in the websites owned by local non-business organizations over the business organizations as well as non-profitable websites over profitable websites. Quality Score of the websites does not depend on the period of existence or whether website originated from Sri Lanka. We conclude that the total number of websites has not increased compared to the increase in internet usage during last few years in Sri Lanka. Internet is an underutilized health education tool despite the rapid growth of internet usage in Sri Lanka. Even though Internet usage has grown rapidly in most developing countries, dissemination of health information through internet may not have been developed adequately in such countries.

In this paper, we investigate probabilistic graphical models for risk modelling and assessment of type 2 diabetes. In particular, we study a new cause-effect model and focus on the impacts of life styles and socioeconomics to type 2 diabetes. The proposed model encodes cause-effect dependencies instead of correlations or conditional independencies among variables, which is different from previous work. Experiments on a large healthcare dataset show that the proposed causal modelling method significantly outperforms the baseline naive Bayesian network (BN) models and performs similarly to the conventional conditional independency modelling BNs and correlation modelling logistic regression models. The proposed model has the advantage of modelling cause-effect relationships over other models.

The revolution in information and communication technology has made it easy to innovate and deliver new products and services in the healthcare sectors. The wearable devices fall under such category. They are multi-functional and wearable on the body. They have been extensively studied and implemented in Western countries, but the research on such devices has not received much attention in countries like Oman. In addition, the healthcare institutions in a number of Asian countries are not fully aware of the benefits of wearable devices. This research consisted of conducting an empirical study on the current use, awareness, and challenges to the advancement of wearable devices/technologies in the healthcare sector inside Oman. The responses from 149 healthcare stakeholders were collected through an online-administered questionnaire. The study further discusses the effectiveness, applicability, and corresponding applications of wearable technologies in the healthcare sector, besides assessing the prospects for such technologies in Oman.
