We are proud to announce the launch of our new eJournal Applied Clincial Informatics. As the Official eJournal of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) and the Association of Medical Directors of Information Systems (AMDIS), the ACI will publish approximately 100 peer reviewed articles per year online. ACI aims to establish a platform for knowledge sharing between clinical medicine and health IT specialists. It further intends to bridge the gap between visionary design and successful and pragmatic deployment.

ACI is the third Schattauer journal dealing with medical informatics. It perfectly complements our other journals Methods of Information in Medicine, founded by Schattauer in 1965, and the Yearbook of Medical Informatics. The Yearbook being the “Milestone” or State-of-the Art journal and Methods being the “Science and Research” journal of IMIA, ACI intends to be the “Practical” journal of IMIA.

The core editorial subject matters of ACI are: Clinical information systems; administrative and management systems; eHealth systems; information technology development, deployment and evaluation; socio-technical aspects of information technology and health IT training.

The target of ACI is an international and potentially very influential readership, e.g.: Chief Information Officers, Chief Executive Officers, Chief Financial Officers, Medical Informatics Researchers, Nurse Informaticians, Consultants, Public Health Officials, Vendors and IT Safety Healthcare Providers.

For further information on this highly valued online journal, you may contact the Editor-in-Chief Christoph U. Lehmann, MD, Johns Hopkins University, at
