Call for Papers
Healthcare Operations Management SIG 2018 Conference
Naveen Jindal School of Management, University of Texas at Dallas,
July 1, 2018
The Healthcare Operations Management Special Interest Group (Healthcare SIG) of the Manufacturing and Service Operations Management Society (MSOM) of the Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) will hold its 11th annual conference on Sunday, July 1, 2018 at the Naveen Jindal School of Management of the University of Texas at Dallas, preceding the MSOM 2018 conference (July 2-3).
On behalf of the Healthcare SIG, we would like to invite researchers, clinicians, and healthcare executives to attend and participate in a conference focused on cutting-edge issues at the interface of healthcare and operations management. We invite you to submit papers for presentation and discussion at the conference. The selection of the papers will favor cutting-edge collaborative work between academics and clinicians/healthcare administrators with important methodological and practical impact. The acceptance decisions will be based on full paper submissions which will undergo a double-blind review by a panel of experts. Presentations will be scheduled in a single track. The papers can be analytical or empirical, methodologically oriented or applied.
Important Dates
Submission deadline (full paper): March 2, 2018
Notification of Acceptance: March 30, 2018
Deadline to update accepted papers: May 8, 2018

- Submit by email to MSOMHealthcareSIG2018@gmail.com
- Include the paper title in the subject line and attach the following two files in pdf format.
- The author information file should list the paper title and authors' names and contact information, and the presenter information. Please name this file as <paper title_name of first author>.pdf (e.g., "Optimal nurse staffing_Smith.pdf").
- The paper file should be named <paper title>.pdf ("Optimal nurse staffing.pdf") should have a separate title page with an abstract and key words, not to exceed 32 pages (incl. appendices), and comply with MSOM formatting standards: http://www.informs.org/Pubs/MSOM/Submission-Guidelines
- The papers will undergo a double-blind review process by an expert panel. To support this process, author names should NOT appear anywhere in the paper file.
- The authors of papers accepted to the Healthcare SIG conference may submit an updated paper version by May 8, 2018 for distribution to the discussants.
Coordination with the MSOM Conference
Although the same work may not be presented in both the MSOM Conference and a SIG Conference, authors may have their submission considered by both. To do so, the authors should only make a single submission to the SIG Conference and indicate in their submission email that they would also like to be considered for the MSOM conference in case the paper is not accepted by the SIG Conference (which has higher priority). The same work may not be submitted to more than one SIG Conference.
