    Posted 02-26-2023 15:14

    Dear OTHC Colleagues,

    The abstracts for the 2023 OTHC Annual Conference are due in one week (March 1, 2023). The conference will be held on Thursday, May 18th and Friday, May 19th, with a pre-conference reception on Wednesday, May 17th. The conference will take place in-person at Stanford. Details about how to submit an abstract are included below.

    Abstract submission for research presentations

    We invite abstracts from health care organization researchers, including faculty, doctoral students, and postdocs. Submissions on all topics are welcome. Up to five abstracts will be chosen for podium presentation based on peer review, with preference given to those that directly integrate and contribute to organizational theory and to those that indicate the related paper will be completed by the time of the conference. Papers that are not selected for podium presentation will be considered for poster presentation, another key part of the conference.

    Research using qualitative, quantitative, or mixed methods is welcome. Theory development papers are also welcome (these should be original contributions to theory and not review articles).

    If you would like to present your research at the conference, please submit an abstract for your work  to othcassociation@gmail.com. Abstracts are due by Tuesday, March 1 at 11:59 p.m. PT.

    Abstracts may be up to two pages double-spaced, 12-point font, and should include the following sections:

    • For Empirical Papers: Title of abstract; Author names/affiliations/titles; Presenting author, email, and phone number; Study objectives; Hypotheses/ theory/ conceptual model/ research questions; Study design; Data sources; Measures; Methods; Results; Conclusions; Implications for policy, practice, or both; Implications for theory.
    • For Theoretical Papers: Title of abstract; Author names/affiliations/titles; Presenting author, email, and phone number; Problem to be addressed; Purpose of the conceptual approach; Logic and structure of the conceptual approach; Potential hypotheses; What is new in the conceptual approach; Implications for Research and, potentially for practice.

    For either type of abstract, please include at the end:

    • A statement describing the state of completeness of the work upon which the abstract is based, and
    • Whether you wish your abstract to be considered for podium and/or poster presentation.
