While many information-intensive industries have developed and
deployed
standards-based information infrastructures, healthcare has been
characterized as a 'trillion dollar cottage industry' that, in its
current
state, is heavily dependent on paper records and fragmented,
error-prone
approaches to service delivery. In response, Health Information
Systems
(HIS) and especially Electronic health record (EHR) systems are
emerging as
a new and significant application domain for information technologies
to
capture and promote interactions between patients and healthcare
providers.
However, the integration of information systems into the complex world
of
healthcare generates unique technology challenges. A primary concern is
that
privacy and security requirements for HIS are frequently expressed in
vague,
as well as contradictory, complex laws and regulations. To address
this
problem, model-based methods offer a revolutionary way to formally and
explicitly integrate privacy and security goals into HIS
architectures.
End-to-end architecture modeling, integrated with formal privacy and
security models, offer new opportunities for HIS system designers and
end
users.

This special issue invites contributions discussing new results in
model-based design methods for trustworthy health information systems.
Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
-	HIS/EHR Model-based platform design
-	HIS/EHR Model-based generators
-	HIS/EHR Modeling languages
-	HIS/EHR Model verification tools
-	HIS/EHR privacy modeling 	
-	Service-oriented architectures for HIS/EHR
-	Security architectures and models for HIS/EHR
-	Integration of HIS /EHR with business processes
