We are proud to present yet another SIGhealth sponsored special issue!

Call for papers: Journal of the Association for Information Systems (JAIS)

Special Issue on: Health Care IT…Process, People and Patients December 2010
Guest Editors, Fay Cobb Payton, Guy Pare, Madhu Reddy, Cynthia LeRouge

In this special issue JAIS seeks to address the future research challenges of HIS through application and extension of IS and related theories. This special issue will give particular consideration to articles that integrate literatures, approaches, and findings related to technology in health care across related disciplines.  To this end the special issue will solicit high quality Healthcare-IS  papers that apply and extend theory within and across information systems, sociology, health informatics, medicine, health policy research, health economics and other fields that are rarely bridged in published studies. We seek open dialogue and knowledge sharing among these disciplines.
