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.
CHITA will be held in Washington DC, center of health policy

is an academic research center in the Robert H. Smith School of
Business,
University of Maryland at College Park. CHIDS works in
collaboration with
industry, clinical and government partners to develop solutions to
the
challenges surrounding the design, adoption and integration of
information
technologies into the healthcare system. The research at CHIDS
seeks to
understand how digital technologies can be more effectively
deployed to
address outcomes such as patient safety, healthcare quality,
efficiency in
healthcare delivery, and a reduction in health disparities. CHIDS
draws on
the expertise of the Decision, Operations & Information
Technologies
Department (DO&IT) at the Smith School and the University of
Maryland
Schools of Engineering, Public Health, Medicine, and Pharmacy.
DO&IT is
acknowledged by several publications as a Top 5 performer in
research
production worldwide and the Information Systems group ranks in
the top 10
worldwide in Business Week and U.S. News and World Report. Since
its
inception in 2005, CHIDS has served as a focal point for thought
leadership
around the topic of digitally-enabled health transformation.
