The organizing committee of the ISHIMR 2015 Committee
are pleased to announce the 17th International Symposium for Health
Information Management Research (ISHIMR), which will take place on 25-26 June
2015, at York St John University, in York, England, UK. ISHIMR 2015 is a
collaboration between York St John University and the University of Sheffield.
ISHIMR 2015 will bring together researchers and professionals in the general
area of e-health, health information management and librarianship, and health
informatics and will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of
their research activities.
ISHIMR 2015 will feature oral and poster presentations
and a doctoral symposium. We are also
delighted to announce that our keynote speakers will be Professor Frances Mair
from the University of Glasgow, and Dr Andrew Booth from ScHARR at the
University of Sheffield. ISHIMR 2015 will include a multi-disciplinary audience
and the opportunity for discussions and research collaborations between
academia, government and industry.
Please see the ISHIMR 2015 web-site
(www.ishimr2015.com) for a list of themes and topics the conference covers.
We invite you to consider submitting your research
contributions or practical experience reports to the conference when the 1st
call for papers is made in September 2014. All papers will be blind peer-reviewed
by at least two members of the Programme Committee. The deadline for submission of papers and
poster abstracts is: 15th January 2015.
All papers presented and abstracts for posters will be
published in the Conference Proceedings. We expect the best papers to be
published in a special issue of an international journal.
Please circulate this announcement to your colleagues and fellow researchers.
