Abstract

BACKGROUND

In 1962, Methods of Information in Medicine (MIM) began to publish papers on the methodology and scientific fundamentals of managing data, information, and knowledge in biomedicine and health care. Meeting an increasing demand for research about practical implementation of health information systems, the journal Applied Clinical Informatics (ACI) was launched in 2009. Both journals are official journals of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA).

OBJECTIVES

Based on prior analyses, we aimed to describe major topics published in MIM during 2014 and to explore whether theory of MIM influenced practice of ACI. Our objectives were further to describe lessons learned and to discuss possible editorial policies to improve bridging from theory to practice.

METHODS

We conducted a retrospective, observational study reviewing MIM articles published during 2014 (N=61) and analyzing reference lists of ACI articles from 2014 (N=70). Lessons learned and opinions about MIM editorial policies were developed in consensus by the two authors. These have been influenced by discussions with the journal's associate editors and editorial board members.

RESULTS

The publication topics of MIM in 2014 were broad, covering biomedical and health informatics, medical biometry and epidemiology. Important topics discussed were biosignal interpretation, boosting methodologies, citation analysis, health-enabling and ambient assistive technologies, health record banking, safety, and standards. Nine ACI practice articles from 2014 cited eighteen MIM theory papers from any year. These nine ACI articles covered mainly the areas of clinical documentation and medication-related decision support. The methodological basis they cited from was almost exclusively related to evaluation. We could show some direct links where theory impacted practice. These links are however few in relation to the total amount of papers published.

CONCLUSIONS

Editorial policies such as publishing systematic methodological reviews and clarification of possible practical impact of theory-focused articles may improve bridging.

摘要

背景

1962年，《医学信息方法》（MIM）开始发表有关生物医学和医疗保健中数据、信息及知识管理的方法和科学基础的论文。为满足对健康信息系统实际应用研究日益增长的需求，《应用临床信息学》（ACI）杂志于2009年创刊。这两本杂志均为国际医学信息学协会（IMIA）的官方期刊。

目的

基于之前的分析，我们旨在描述2014年发表在MIM上的主要主题，并探讨MIM的理论是否影响了ACI的实践。我们的目标还包括描述所吸取的经验教训，并讨论可能的编辑政策，以加强从理论到实践的衔接。

方法

我们进行了一项回顾性观察研究，回顾2014年发表在MIM上的文章（n = 61），并分析2014年ACI文章（n = 70）的参考文献列表。两位作者通过协商得出了关于MIM编辑政策的经验教训和意见。这些受到了与该杂志副主编和编辑委员会成员讨论的影响。

结果

2014年MIM的发表主题广泛，涵盖生物医学和健康信息学、医学生物统计学和流行病学领域。讨论的重要主题包括生物信号解读、促进方法、引文分析、健康促进和环境辅助技术、健康记录库、安全性和标准。2014年的9篇ACI实践文章引用了来自任何年份的18篇MIM理论文章。这9篇ACI文章主要涵盖临床文档和药物相关决策支持领域。它们引用的方法学基础几乎都与评估有关。我们能够展示一些理论影响实践的直接联系。然而，与发表的论文总量相比，这些联系较少。
