Dear Colleagues:



The Society for Health Systems  of the Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers (IISE) is sponsoring the Healthcare Systems Track at the 2017 IISE Annual Conference and Expo. The conference is a forum for exchanging knowledge and discoveries in the industrial and systems engineering research and practitioner communities. The 2017 IISE Annual Conference and Expo will be one conference. There are no longer separate ISERC and Applied Solutions sessions. This exciting change will bring researchers and practitioners together to share the latest advances in our fields.  Healthcare systems track gathers academicians and seasoned industry practitioners to present cutting edge research and proven solutions for applying industrial and systems engineering principles within healthcare systems including operations management, informatics, social technical system, and decision modeling. This track accepts abstracts that share research findings, case analyses, and industry applications in all areas of healthcare systems is a forum for exchanging knowledge, discoveries and best practices in the industrial and systems engineering community.
