Summary
We present a model of applied clinical informatics in the context of medical informatics
in general, across the domain of health sciences and the continuum of information
technology development and its adoption into workflow. The distinct challenges of
applied clinical informatics present an opportunity to improve efforts through collaboration
of the growing number of physicians, health institutional leaders and other health
workers in successfully implementing working systems. This journal will be a forum
for discussion regarding approaches to design, implement, deploy and evaluate systems
and importantly, how to present experiences in a way to maximize sharing of those
experiences.
