[Iefac.list] IE research conference - call for Healthcare papers

[Benneyan, James]

Dear Colleagues, 

 

The Society for Health Systems within the Institute of Industrial Engineers
(IIE) is sponsoring the Healthcare Systems track of the 2012 Industrial and
Systems Engineering Research Conference (ISERC).  The ISERC is the new name
for the Industrial Engineering Research Conference (IERC).  The ISERC, which
is part of the IIE Annual Conference and Expo, is a forum for exchanging
knowledge and discoveries in the industrial and systems engineering research
community.

 

As track chairs of the Healthcare Systems track, Ayten Turkcan and I would
like to encourage you to contribute to the conference by submitting an
abstract.  Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to present their
work in ISERC sessions. Each session will be 75 minutes and have 3 or 4
presenters. Abstracts describing IEOR research and applied methodology are
sought in the following areas:

 


Hospital logistics

Patient safety

Quality engineering

Medical decision making

Public health

Data analytics

Resource planning 

Primary care

Prevention

Rural health

Tele and remote health

Disease surveillance 

Emerging topics and issues

others

 

We encourage all presenters to submit a full length paper for the conference
proceedings.  The papers should contain results that are significant and
have archival value to the industrial and systems engineering research
community; however, the papers are more limited in scope and length than a
full-length journal paper.  Full papers have a ten-page limit and will
undergo a double-blind peer review process.  All accepted papers are indexed
by ProQuest.  Presentations without a paper are acceptable, but will not be
indexed in the conference proceedings.  

 

The important deadlines for the conference are: 

 

November 11, 2011         Abstract submissions
December 9, 2011            Notification
January 13, 2012               Submission of full papers (optional but
encouraged)
February 24, 2012            Notification of paper acceptance
March 9, 2012                    Final version of full paper due
April 1, 2012                        Presenting author registration deadline

 

If your abstract or paper is accepted: (a) you or a co-author must register
for the conference by April 1, 2012 (presentations/papers without an author
registered for the conference will be withdrawn from the program and the
proceedings); (b) you or a co-author must attend and present the paper at
the conference; and (c) we ask that you be ready to serve as a reviewer for
fellow authors and follow review deadlines.

 

There are also opportunities to organize invited sessions, panels, or
tutorials.  In addition to research presentations, the annual conference
offers many opportunities for attendees, including the Applied Solutions
Conference program, plant tours, networking, and keynote speakers.

 

We look forward to seeing you in Orlando!

 

Best regards,

 

James C. Benneyan, Northeastern University
