On behalf of the ISHIMR 2013 Committee, we invite you to participate in the 16th International Symposium for Health Information Management Research (ISHIMR), which will take place on 26-28 June 2013, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada.

ISHIMR 2013 will bring together researchers in the general area of e-health, health information management and health informatics and will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of their research activities. We therefore
welcome paper (oral presentation) / abstract (poster) submissions and delegates from the health and research community, particularly those with teaching/ research responsibilities in health information management and health informatics, those with clinical responsibilities, and those involved in provision of health information and knowledge services.
 
ISHIMR 2013 will feature oral and poster presentations, a doctoral symposium, a demonstration of health informatics software applications and invited speakers from industry, government organisations and academia. ISHIMR 2013 will include a multi-disciplinary audience and the opportunity for discussions and research collaborations between academia, government and industry.

The main themes of interest include, but are not restricted to:
 
Please see the ISHIMR 2013 web-site (https://www.ishimr2013.com/) for a list of the topics under each theme.
 
You and your colleagues are invited to submit their research contributions or practical experience reports. All papers will be blind peer-reviewed by at least two members of the Programme Committee.

The deadline for submission of papers and poster abstracts is: 28th February 2013.  
The Symposium Proceedings, including all papers presented and abstracts for posters, will be published in the Conference Proceedings. We expect the best papers to be published in a special issue of an international journal as happened in previous conferences.

Please circulate this CFP to your colleagues and fellow researchers. Further information about ISHIMR 2013 is available at https://www.ishimr2013.com/

We look forward to your contribution and to seeing you at ISHIMR 2013
