Welcome to the Society for Health Systems
The Society for Health Systems, the preeminent organization for healthcare engineers, is the meeting of minds for
health systems professionals and leaders like you. SHS offers a wide network of colleagues, experts and resources
outside your organization, along with the latest and best process analytics, tools, techniques and methodologies for
performance improvement and opportunities for professional development.
“Membership has helped me in my career because it has given me an avenue of continual learning and growth.
Plus, I
have had the chance to meet so many others that I've been able to build relationships with and I can call on
them whenever I need advice or another perspective on my specific problems. I also enjoy mentoring others,
and I
feel I've been able to positively impact the careers and lives of others, which gives me a sense of
fulfillment
in my career and professional life.”
– Aaron Kanne, Executive Director, Implementation Services, Care Logistics
Special Issue Call for Papers – IISE Transactions on Healthcare Systems Engineering
A special future issue of IISE Transactions on Healthcare Systems Engineering will focus on examining

guidance, market research, and the economic impact of digital health innovations in an evolving health technology
sector.
We invite applied articles that feature original research, pilot studies, case use, best practices and perspectives
from medical, technical, allied health, policy, safety, economic, strategic, education, and social impact
disciplines.
