On behalf of the IIE Board of Trustees, this is a call for nominations for the position of editor-in-chief of IIE Transactions on Healthcare Systems Engineering. This position is a four-year, non-renewable term beginning January 1, 2016.

IIE Transactions on Healthcare Systems Engineering, an official journal of the Institute of Industrial Engineers, publishes original high-quality papers on healthcare related topics of interest to researchers who want to remain current with cutting edge approaches to healthcare problems.  The refereed journal aims to foster the healthcare systems community by publishing papers that have a strong methodological focus and direct applicability to healthcare systems. Published quarterly, the journal is composed of six departments: Healthcare Operations Management, Medical Decision Making, Socio-Technical Systems Analysis, Quality Engineering, Healthcare Informatics, and Healthcare Policy.  The journal encourages research motivated by the challenging problems related to healthcare systems. The journal publishes papers that document the development and use of industrial and systems engineering tools and techniques including operations research, statistics, information systems, work measurement, and human factors/ergonomics applied to healthcare systems.  The integration of these tools and techniques with those from other engineering and medical disciplines are also featured. Review papers and articles covering new methodologies, state-of-the-art surveys, technical notes, and book reviews are also included within the scope of the journal.
