Description



The Journal provides an international medium for dissemination of original results and interpretative reviews concerning the field of medical informatics. The emphasis is on the description of clinically evaluated systems and the scope covers:
• Information systems, including national or international registration systems, hospital information systems, departmental and/or physician's office systems, document handling systems, electronic medical record systems, standardization, systems integration etc.;
• Organizational, economic, social, ethical and cost-benefit aspects of IT applications in health care;
• Computer-aided medical decision support systems using heuristic, algorithmic and/or statistical methods as exemplified in decision theory, protocol development, artificial intelligence, etc.
• Evaluations of educational computer based programs pertaining to medical informatics or medicine in general.

The emphasis is on the description of clinically evaluated systems. Short technical communications concerning (solved) problems in implementing or using existing information systems are welcome. Review articles concerning subjects falling in the scope of the journal are also invited.

From time to time we will publish topical issues that have a different emphasis.
