    On behalf of the Healthcare SIG, we would like to invite you to submit papers at the intersection of healthcare and operations management. Papers based on cutting-edge collaborative work between academics and clinicians/healthcare administrators with important methodological and practical impact are especially encouraged. Acceptance decisions will be based on full paper submissions following a double-blind review by a panel of experts. Presentations will be scheduled in a single track. Papers can be analytical or empirical, methodologically oriented or applied.

      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 27, 2020. 

    Coordination with the general 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 the submission 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.
