About the Journal
Advancing clinical informatics and decision science through rigorous open access research.
The Journal of Medical Informatics and Decision Making
JMID is an international open access journal dedicated to publishing research at the intersection of clinical informatics, decision science, and healthcare technology—with a mandate to advance real-world clinical impact and patient outcomes.
JMID exists to bridge the gap between informatics innovation and clinical practice. We publish medical/clinical informatics and decision science research that demonstrates clear clinical relevance—including EHR/clinical data studies, clinical NLP, imaging informatics, interoperability research, and AI-powered clinical workflows. Our focus is on research that delivers real-world clinical impact, not bioinformatics-only contributions.
JMID prioritizes research tied to substantive informatics contributions with clinical or healthcare-data outcomes:
Clinical Informatics
EHR optimization, clinical workflow integration, health information exchange, and clinical data quality.
Decision Support/Analytics
Clinical decision support systems, predictive analytics, risk stratification, and alert management.
Data Standards & Interoperability
HL7 FHIR, data exchange standards, semantic interoperability, and terminology systems.
Clinical NLP & Imaging
Natural language processing for clinical text, imaging informatics, radiology AI, and pathology informatics.
Implementation & Usability
System implementation studies, clinical workflow assessment, usability evaluation, and adoption research.
Patient/Clinical Outcomes
Research validating informatics methods/tools against patient outcomes or clinical workflow improvements.
Submissions are welcome when tied to a substantive informatics contribution. Clinical outcomes are optional but acceptable when the method/tool is validated clinically.
Open Access Commitment
All JMID articles are published under CC BY 4.0, ensuring free and immediate access for informaticists, clinicians, data scientists, and healthcare IT professionals worldwide.
