Dr Adrian Yeow Bags Best Paper Award At AMCIS 2016

On 12 August 2016, Dr Adrian Yeow, a senior lecturer from School of Business (SBIZ), was presented the Best Paper Award (Senior Scholar) by the Association for Information Systems' Special Interest Group on Health (AIS SIGHealth) for his paper 'Work Harder or Work Smarter? Information Technology and Resource Allocation in Healthcare Processes'. Co-authored with Assoc Prof Goh Kim Huat from Nanyang Technological University, the paper shows how the telemedicine system has led to improvements in healthcare outcomes such as lower hospitalisation rates and reduced patient waiting time, through better allocation of specialist resources. MIS Quarterly – a top-tier peer-reviewed scholarly journal by the Management information System Research Center – had published this paper in 2015. Adrian received the award at AIS SIGHealth's annual business meeting during the 22nd America Conference on Information Systems.

_{Dr Adrian Yeow hopes his paper will inspire more efficient processes at all workplaces.}
