This volume presents the papers of the International Conference on “Context Sensitive Health Informatics, Human and Socio-Technical approaches” held at Citi University in Hong Kong in August 2017.

Context Sensitive Health Informatics is about health information technologies and their environments. Environments may be people in different roles such as Citizens, patients, users, designers, and evaluators, but also non-human constructs such as organizations, work practices, guidelines and protocols, buildings and markets.

The conference is endorsed by organized/supported by the IMIA Working Groups Human Factors Engineering for Healthcare Informatics, Organizational and Social Issues, Technology Assessment & Quality Development in Health Informatics, and Primary Health Care Informatics,

The CSHI2017 Pre-MEDINFO Conference is sponsored by City University of Hong Kong, Department of Management Sciences and organized by faculty members receiving support from Theme-based Research Scheme – Delivering 21st Century Healthcare in Hong Kong – Building a Quality-and-Efficiency Driven System (Grant No. T32-102/14N). The editors want to thank the sponsors and the local organizing committee for making it possible to have the conference in Hong Kong

We would also like to thank Mathias Kragh Nielsen for setting up and maintaining the conference web site, and Line Dausel Vinther for editing all the papers. We also would like to acknowledge Linda W. Peute from Department of Medical Informatics, Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam for designing the logo for the conference. Finally, we want to thank the Scientific Program Committee for their efforts to establish the content of the conference and all the reviewers for providing constructive feedback to the authors. Their excellent work has significantly improved the quality of many papers.
