Vassilios Angelidis

I am Dr. Vasilios Angelidis, and I have dedicated my professional career to Applied Informatics, with a particular specialization in the field of Management and Informatics in Hospitals. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience and deep knowledge in areas such as Knowledge Management, Hospital Information Systems(HIS), and the Business Process Reengineering(BPR). My experience has enabled me to make significant contributions to the healthcare sector and support the optimization of processes and systems that enhance the delivery of quality healthcare services.
I am pleased to possess a strong academic background, holding a degree (Laurea) in Computer Science from the University of Udine, a Master of Science in Finance and Financial Information Systems from the University of Greenwich, and my PhD in Information Systems from the Department of Production and Management Engineering at Democritus University of Thrace. This multi-layered education has given me the opportunity to delve into various aspects of informatics and management, allowing me to combine theoretical knowledge with practical application.
In parallel with my work in management, I have served as an academic, teaching in the Department of Production and Management Engineering at Democritus University of Thrace, in the Accounting Department of the International Hellenic University, and previously at Kavala TEI across all departments. Teaching for me is a way to share my knowledge and support the next generation of professionals in understanding the challenges and opportunities in the fields of informatics and management. I have also participated, both as an organizer and as a trainer, in numerous seminars for various public and private organizations, covering topics primarily related to applied informatics.
Today, I have the honor of serving as the Director of Administrative, Financial, and Informatics Services at the General Hospital of Kavala. In this role, I am responsible for overseeing all key administrative and financial processes of the hospital, ensuring that they operate efficiently and accurately. I also engage in research and development programs related to my areas of expertise, allowing me to continually push the boundaries of knowledge and innovation in the field of health information systems.
Another significant aspect of my work is research activity. I have participated in numerous research programs and have published many research papers in reputable scientific journals, while also presenting my work at international conferences. Some of the journals in which I have published include the Information Systems Journal, the Biomedical Informatics Journal, the Managerial Finance Journal, the International Medical Informatics Journal, and the European Journal of Information Systems. These publications reflect my commitment to advancing knowledge in the field of informatics and management, as well as my contributions to the research community.
My research interests are centered around the intersection of information systems and healthcare management, with a focus on the design, implementation, and evaluation of systems that drive organizational efficiency and improve decision-making. Over the years, I have delved into a wide range of topics within the realm of applied informatics and management, seeking to contribute to both the academic community and practical applications in the healthcare industry.
Hospital Information Systems is a key area of my research, where I examine how technology can optimize clinical workflows, enhance patient care, and improve administrative processes in hospitals. My work in Business Process Reengineering (BPR) explores how organizations can leverage information systems to redesign their core operations for greater efficiency and innovation.
< Additionally, I am interested in the broader implications of Information Systems (IS), including Information Engineering, which studies the systematic development and lifecycle of IS, as well as the Implications of Information Systems use in both business and social contexts. This includes investigating the socio-cultural implications of the globalization of Information Technology, where I examine how global IT trends affect local practices and organizational behaviors.
My work also extends to the architecture and evaluation of Information Systems designed to support professional activities, focusing on how these systems can enhance productivity, communication, and decision-making in various organizational settings.
In terms of technical expertise, I have strong research interests in Data Communication Systems and Computer Networks, as well as Database Design, where I explore the creation of robust, efficient, and secure data management systems. I also focus on Statistics and Data Analysis as critical tools for processing and interpreting large datasets, helping organizations make data-driven decisions.
Lastly, Knowledge Management plays a pivotal role in my research. I am particularly interested in how organizations can effectively manage and leverage knowledge assets, fostering innovation and improving operational effectiveness.
Through my research, I aim to bridge the gap between theoretical understanding and real-world application, contributing to both the academic field and practical advancements in the use of technology for organizational improvement.
