After 20-years as Informatics in Primary Care the journal is renamed Journal of Innovation in Health Informatics. The title was carefully selected to reflect that: (1) informatics provides the opportunity to innovate rather than simply automates; (2) implementing informatics solutions often results in unintended consequences, and many implementations fail and benefits and innovations may go unrecognised; (3) health informatics is a boundary spanning discipline and is by its very nature likely to give rise to innovation. Informatics is an innovative science, and informaticians need to innovate across professional and discipline boundaries.
在作为《基层医疗信息学》出版20年后，该期刊更名为《健康信息学创新杂志》。这个刊名经过精心挑选，以体现以下几点：（1）信息学提供了创新的机会，而不仅仅是自动化；（2）实施信息学解决方案往往会产生意想不到的后果，许多实施会失败，好处和创新可能未被认可；（3）健康信息学是一门跨越边界的学科，就其本质而言可能会引发创新。信息学是一门创新科学，信息学家需要跨越专业和学科界限进行创新。
