We are pleased to announce the call for submissions to the *7th Annual **Workshop on Health IT and Economics (WHITE)**.*
WHITE is a health IT summit that gathers prominent scholars in a multidisciplinary setting. It attracts over 100 scholars and thought leaders from more than 40 institutions. The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum for researchers to disseminate their work and network within a growing and vibrant community. *WHITE* also fosters collaborations between academia, government, and industry.
As is the tradition, this year’s WHITE workshop will be held in Washington DC, center of health policy debates, on *Friday and Saturday, October 21-22, 2016.* The conference is hosted by the Center for Health Information and Decision Systems (CHIDS) at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland. CHIDS (www.rhsmith.umd.edu/chids) was established in 2005, and is the first academic research center focused on health information and decision systems in a leading business school. Partial support for WHITE is provided by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) and the University of Michigan School of Public Health.
We solicit papers on a wide range of topics including, but not limited to, the following: Health IT adoption and impacts; health information exchange; IT-enabled new organization forms and delivery models; market competition and health insurance exchange; mHealth and patient empowerment; quality transparency and public reporting; and healthcare analytics and big data.
Please submit an *extended abstract* of no more than 5 pages (11-pt font, one-inch margins on four sides, double-spaced) to *whitepaper@rhsmith.umd.edu* whitepaper@rhsmith.umd.edu* by Friday, Aug 12th, 2016. *Authors may also submit full papers, in addition to the abstract. Submissions will be reviewed for novelty, rigor, and policy impact. Decisions will be sent to authors no later than Monday, August 29th.
As in the past, WHITE will give awards for *Best paper*, *Best student-authored paper*, and *Young researcher*. The latter two awards are given to papers with either a student or junior researcher as the lead author. To be considered, *full papers* should be submitted to *whitepaper@rhsmith.umd.edu* whitepaper@rhsmith.umd.edu by* Friday, Sep 16th, 2016.*
