An AIS SIG-Health Sponsored Workshop
**We are extending the deadline to Sunday, November 15, 2020, 11:59PM Eastern**
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 typically 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 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.
Workshop Registration Fees: TBD
