Consistent with MIS Quarterly’s trifecta vision of impact, range, and 
speed, the special issue welcomes submissions from a wide variety of 
research traditions, including behavioral, design, economics, and 
organizational perspectives, and methods to tackle significant problems 
related to the treatment of chronic diseases using information systems 
and analytics. It will have an interdisciplinary focus intended to 
profile research that spans multiple disciplines in order to solve 
pressing needs and extant problems that confront patients, providers, 
and payers in the current healthcare system. As such it welcomes 
submissions that bring together research from several disciplines, 
including but not limited to information systems, medicine, public 
heath, management, operations, psychology, accounting, economics, health 
informatics, computer science, and electrical engineering.

We seek submissions whose focus and contribution is on the role of IS 
and analytics in addressing chronic disease management and prevention.  
Importantly, the research should leverage the distinctive 
characteristics of chronic disease prevention and management.

All submitted papers must comply with MISQ’s mission as stated on the 
journal’s home page at http://www.misq.org/mission and must adhere to 
MISQ’s format and style for papers.  We encourage authors who may be 
unfamiliar with the format and style of MISQ’s papers to acquaint 
themselves by examining published papers in the journal.

Extended abstract submission deadline:  May 1, 2017
Submission deadline:  August 1, 2017
