The Journal of Innovation in Health Informatics is a peer-reviewed open-access medical journal that accepts articles covering advances in medical informatics. The journal focusses on computing information science, management and health. The journal is owned by the British Computer Society[1], the Chartered Institute for IT and is the primary journal of the BCS Health[2] special interest group.

Journal Content and Scope

The Journal of Innovation in Health Informatics publishes research papers, literature reviews and letters from both researchers and practitioners in the fields of social care, health and clinical informatics. Its focus is on informatics research from the front lines of health care and how informatics can support innovation in health and health care.

The journal publishes articles about how computers and information technology can be incorporated into clinical workflow and be used to measure quality and health outcomes. Key focus areas are on how computerised medical records can better record the clinical status of patients and can be used to measure the quality, safety and efficiency of health care professionals and organisations – including primary care, hospital, mental health, and social and community care. The scope of the journal also includes integrated care and how genetic data might be used to enhance health care. Both qualitative and quantitative research are considered for inclusion.
