2011 Workshop on Visual Analytics in Healthcare: understanding the physician perspective

This paper presents a review and summary of the 2011 Workshop on Visual Analytics in Healthcare (VAHC 2011). This was the second annual VAHC workshop and it was held in late October in conjunction with the IEEE VisWeek Conference. The primary goal of the VAHC workshop is to bring together researchers and clinicians to discuss the areas in healthcare that can benefit the most from advances in visualization and analytic systems. This review summarizes the event and provides information on how to access the electronic proceedings. In addition, we seek volunteers who are interested in helping to organize future VAHC workshops.
