We are pleased to invite you to attend the 12th Annual Conference on Health
IT and Analytics (CHITA 2022), which will be held in-person in
Washington, D.C., on *March 4-5, 2022*, with a pre-conference Doctoral
Consortium on *March 3, 2022*. (Conference venue TBA)

CHITA is an annual research summit and doctoral consortium that gathers
prominent scholars in a multidisciplinary setting. CHITA focuses on the
increasing role, importance and impact of analytics and health information
technology in improving individual and population health, and health system
quality and performance. Each year, the conference attracts over 100
scholars and thought leaders from more than 40 institutions. CHITA provides
a forum for researchers to disseminate their work and network within a
growing and vibrant community. This conference fosters collaboration
between academia, government and industry to bridge research, policy and
practice.

The conference is hosted by the Center for Health Information and Decision
Systems (CHIDS) at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of
Business. CHIDS was established in 2005 and is the first academic research
center focused on health information and decision systems in a leading
business school. CHITA is produced in partnership with the University of
Michigan School of Public Health with support from the Agency for
Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).
