Journal Guide

Applied Clinical Informatics (ACI) is the official eJournal of AMIA, IMIA, and EFMI, the online journal ACI - Applied Clinical Informatics (ACI) publishes approximately 100 peer-reviewed articles per year. It aims to establish a platform that allows sharing of knowledge between clinical medicine and health IT specialists as well as bridging gaps between visionary design and successful and pragmatic deployment.

Official journal of the French Association of Telemedicine.European Research in Telemedicine / La Recherche Européenne en Télémédecine, on line journal in English and French, reports and analyzes the big stakes in the telemedicine according to the following axes:The remote monitoring, which has for object to allow a medical professional to give a remote consultation to a patient and to interpret remotely the necessary data for the medical follow-up of the patient. The recording or the transmission of data can be automated or realized by the very patient or by a healthcare professional;The teleexpertise, which has for object to allow a medical professional to seek at a remotely the opinion of one or several medical professionals because of their trainings or of their particular skills, on the basis of the medical information bound to the care of a patient;The remote medical assistance, which has for object to allow a medical professional to assist remotely another healthcare professional during the realization of an act;The medical answer which is brought within the framework of the medical regulation;The telemedicine subjects relative to law, communicants and health economics.

Health Information Science and Systems is a multidisciplinary journal that aims to integrate computer science/information technology with health science and services, embracing information science research coupled with topics related to the modeling, design, development, integration, and management of health information systems.Health Information Science and Systems is an international, archival, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary, open access journal covering all aspects of the health information sciences and the systems that support this information. The scope includes i) medical/health/biomedicine information resources, such as patient medical records, devices and equipments, software and tools to capture, store, retrieve, process, analyze, optimize the use of information in the health domain, ii) data management, data mining, and knowledge discovery, all of which play a key role in decision making, management of public health, examination of standards, privacy and security issues, iii) development of new architectures and applications for health information systems. Health Information Science and Systems' topical coverage includes, but is not restricted to, the following subjects:Information systems including electronic health records, hospital information systems, data exchange and integrationHealth service delivery, workflowData mining, knowledge discovery, decision making supportSystem interoperability, ontology and standardizationBioinformaticsBiomedical informaticsBrain informaticsTelemedicineHealth data managementHealth database and information-system integrationHealth information extractionHealth information servicesHealth information-system modeling, design, and developmentHealth information visualizationSupport tools and languages for health information-system developmentHe, alth Information Science and Systems seeks articles on research methods and conceptual insights that are healthcare motivated but could potentially be applied broadly in diverse domains, both within and outside healthcare context. Methods may be drawn from information technology, computer science, bioinformatics, biomedicine, decision science, cognitive science, psychology, management science, and statistics. Articles emphasizing information management and knowledge representation/modeling issues that arise from the storage and use of health informatics will also be considered. System descriptions are welcome if they illustrate and substantiate the underlying methodology.
