Call for Papers – 2019 HITS- Health Information Technology
Symposium (Formerly the SIG-Health Pre-ICIS Workshop)
An AIS SIG-Health Sponsored Workshop
December 15, 2019, Munich, Germany
Theme: LOOKING FOR FREEDOM - How IT enhances the personal freedom
for the sick and disabled.
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 papers do not need to be
specific to the conference theme. Any paper on health IT is
acceptable.
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 round-table 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
round-table 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 the paper 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.
