Call For Papers
2021 HITS- Health Information Technology Symposium (Formerly the
SIG-Health Pre-ICIS Workshop)
An AIS SIG-Health Sponsored Workshop
Sunday, December 12, 2021 1:00pm to 5:00pm, Austin TX, USA
Theme: On the Road Again – Health IT and Mobility
HITS (formerly the SIG-Health Pre-ICIS Workshop) is a
pre-conference activity of the International Conference on
Information Systems (ICIS) hosted by the Special Interest Group
Health IT (SIGHEALTH). It provides a forum for those working on
information technology in the context of healthcare. We welcome
both research-in-progress and completed work on a broad range of
topics and methodologies. Authors do not have to be SIG-Health
members to participate. Please note that the papers do not have to
fit the theme, just relate to health IT in general.
The papers will not be included in conference proceedings and so
authors retain all copyrights to their work. However, accepted
papers will be listed with author names, affiliations and title on
the AIS SIG-Health website. Authors will have the option to
include their final extended abstract on the website as well.
The workshop is restricted to 40 participants and will include
presentations and roundtable discussions. All submitted work will
be reviewed by the co-chairs and other workshop authors. All
accepted papers will then be presented and discussed during
roundtable discussions to provide authors with help, feedback,
suggestions, and to facilitate future collaborations. We will have
3-5 authors per table to facilitate discussion. The two papers
with highest review scores may be presented to all workshop
attendees. The interactive format of the workshop is geared
towards providing a high degree of feedback to authors with
promising early-stage work, but is certainly open to developed and
completed research as well.
