Clinical informatics harnesses health information technologies (Health IT) to enhance patient care, advance medical research, and bolster patient safety. Its scope encompasses the design, development, and evaluation of technologies ensuring timely access to pertinent healthcare information for providers. With a core aim to optimize patient care outcomes, improve communication channels, and facilitate accurate medical information exchange, clinical informatics also delves into collecting, analyzing, and interpreting healthcare data to extract actionable insights. Moreover, it prioritizes interoperability and standardization of health information systems and data formats. Notably, clinical informatics empowers patients through access to their health records, educational materials, and self-management resources.

Mission: The Journal of Clinical Informatics is dedicated to advancing the integration of informatics in healthcare and driving research in health informatics, bioinformatics, and medical informatics. We aim to cultivate international cooperation, stimulate research and development, and promote the routine application of informatics solutions. Our mission includes facilitating the seamless transition of informatics from theoretical concepts to practical implementation across various healthcare settings, from physician's offices to acute and long-term care facilities. We are committed to fostering the dissemination and exchange of knowledge, information, and technology while advocating for education and responsible conduct within the field.

Vision: The Journal of Clinical Informatics aspires to set the standard as a global frontrunner in driving the advancement of informatics across healthcare and research domains. Our overarching vision is to not only foster international collaboration but also to serve as a catalyst for translating informatics innovations into actionable solutions that significantly elevate patient safety and healthcare quality standards. We aim to position ourselves as the leading publication that seamlessly bridges the gap between theoretical informatics concepts and their practical application in a multitude of healthcare settings worldwide. By continuously striving for excellence and innovation, we are committed to making substantial contributions to the evolution and transformation of healthcare delivery through informatics.
