INTRODUCTION

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 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.
