Special Issue on Health Information Technology

Health information is the data that involves a person’s medical history, including symptoms, diagnoses, procedures and outcomes. The health information technology (health IT) refers to the exchange of health information in an electronic environment. The wide use of health IT improves the quality of health care, prevents medical errors, reduces health care costs, increases administrative efficiencies, decreases paperwork, and expands access to affordable health care.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Health Information Technology. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Clinical decision support
• Computerized disease registries
• Computerized provider order entry
• Consumer health IT applications
• Electronic prescribing
• Electronic health records (EHRs)
• Personal health records (PHRs)
• E-prescribing
• Health information analysis
• Telehealth

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Health Information Technology” should be selected during your submission.
