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.
