IT and Analytics (CHITA 2022), which will be held in-person in
Washington, D.C., on *March 4-5, 2022*, with a pre-conference
Doctoral
Consortium on *March 3, 2022*. (Conference venue TBA)
CHITA is an annual research summit and doctoral consortium that
gathers
prominent scholars in a multidisciplinary setting. CHITA focuses
on the
increasing role, importance and impact of analytics and health
information
technology in improving individual and population health, and
health system
quality and performance. Each year, the conference attracts over
100
scholars and thought leaders from more than 40 institutions. CHITA
provides
a forum for researchers to disseminate their work and network
within a
growing and vibrant community. This conference fosters
collaboration
between academia, government and industry to bridge research,
policy and
practice.
The conference is hosted by the Center for Health Information and
Decision
Systems (CHIDS) at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith
School of
Business. CHIDS was established in 2005 and is the first academic
research
center focused on health information and decision systems in a
leading
business school. CHITA is produced in partnership with the
University of
Michigan School of Public Health with support from the Agency for
