Abbreviation : J. Innov. Health Informatics
Aims & Scope
The Journal of Innovation in Health Informatics aims to provide information, help and guidance to all those concerned with information technology and information management in health care, both nationally and internationally.
Informatics is a new and exciting discipline, cutting across medicine, nursing, computing, technology, communications, education, statistics, psychology and sociology, with its primary purpose being the application of information and communications technology to support health care.
The core issues for the journal are: engaging the patient (and where appropriate their carer) as an effective participant in their own care (consumer health informatics); using technology at the point of care and ubiquitously (m-Health/e-Health); community based interventions including e-health, telemedicine and social care informatics; improving the quality and use of routinely collected data for quality improvement and research; data visualisation and analytics; utilising linked, large, and big data from health and the wider community to promote health, predict and model disease and care; information governance, privacy and confidentiality. health informatics as an innovative discipline, creating new knowledge and the potential for new outputs from data and information; health informatics as boundary-spanning discipline, working with health and social care; management and information technology.
Contemporary issues for the journal are: understanding why people seek health care and equity in service provision (and the roles of IT and information management in facilitating access and equity); methods and studies of making better use of longitudinal health data; implementing of systems across localities health systems; auditing the effectiveness of locality care (including comparative effectiveness research); interoperable information systems that support integrated care; information systems that can demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of services.
