[Iefac.list] Call for Abstracts & Papers 2021 IISE Annual Conference & Expo Healthcare Systems Track

[Awatef Ergai]

Dear colleagues,



The *Society for Health Systems *of the Institute of Industrial & Systems
Engineers (IISE) is sponsoring the *Healthcare Systems Track *at the 2021
IISE Annual Conference & Expo. The conference is a forum for exchanging
knowledge and discoveries by academicians and practitioners.



We encourage you to submit a 250-word abstract to our track via the online
submission system. *https://www.iise.org/Annual/details.aspx?id=50923*
<https://www.iise.org/Annual/details.aspx?id=50923>



Abstracts that are accepted for oral presentation will be available on the
conference website and can be cited. Authors can claim them as refereed
abstracts. These abstracts will not be copyrighted or indexed in the
conference proceedings. Abstracts related to healthcare are welcome in
areas such as



·        *Special topic: COVID-19*

·        *Quality and Patient Safety*

·        *Operations Research*

·        *Optimization in Healthcare Operations.*

·        *Process Improvement*

·        *Emergency Medicine*

·        *Machine Learning *

·        *Artificial Intelligence*

·        *Human Factors*

·        *Health Policy and Decision-making*

·        *Health Information Technology*

·        *Sustainability*





Authors of abstracts that are accepted for oral presentation will present
their work in a conference session. Regular sessions will be 80 minutes and
include up to four presenters. Authors of these abstracts will be
encouraged to submit (via the online system) an optional six-page paper for
double-blind peer review for the conference proceedings. These papers
should contain methods and results that are significant and have archival
value. All accepted papers will be copyrighted and indexed in the
conference proceedings via ProQuest. *We will also hold a best track paper
competition. Authors of six-page papers will be given the opportunity to
participate in this competition without having to publish that paper in the
proceedings and thus without releasing its copyright.*







If your abstract is accepted for presentation, the presenting author must
register for the conference. Otherwise, the presentation will be withdrawn
from the program. If such a withdrawn presentation is associated with an
accepted six-page paper for the proceedings, that paper will also be
removed. The presenting author must attend and present the work in a
session at the conference. We request that authors be ready to review other
papers in the track.

Some important deadlines are as follows.
