Summary Objective: In this synopsis, we give an overview of recent research and propose a selection of best papers published in 2020 in the field of Clinical Information Systems (CIS). Method: As CIS section editors, we annually apply a systematic process to retrieve articles for the International Medical Informatics Association Yearbook of Medical Informatics. For seven years now, we use the same query to find relevant publications in the CIS field. Each year we retrieve more than 2,400 papers which we categorize in a multi-pass review to distill a preselection of 15 candidate papers. External reviewers and yearbook editors then assess the selected candidate papers. Based on the review results, the IMIA Yearbook editorial board chooses up to four best publications for the section at a selection meeting. To get an overview of the content of the retrieved articles, we use text mining and term co-occurrence mapping techniques. Results: We carried out the query in mid-January 2021 and retrieved a deduplicated result set of 2,787 articles from 1,135 different journals. We nominated 15 papers as candidates and finally selected four of them as the best papers in the CIS section. As in the previous years, the content analysis of the articles revealed the broad spectrum of topics covered by CIS research. Thus, this year we could observe a significant impact of COVID-19 on CIS research. Conclusions: The trends in CIS research, as seen in recent years, continue to be observable. What was very visible was the impact of the Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, which has affected not only our lives but also CIS.

Objective: To give an overview of recent research and to propose a selection of best papers published in 2019 in the field of Clinical Information Systems (CIS). Method: Each year, we apply a systematic process to retrieve articles for the CIS section of the IMIA Yearbook of Medical Informatics. For six years now, we use the same query to find relevant publications in the CIS field. Each year we retrieve more than 2,000 papers. As CIS section editors, we categorize the retrieved articles in a multi-pass review to distill a pre-selection of 15 candidate best papers. Then, Yearbook editors and external reviewers assess the selected candidate best papers. Based on the review results, the IMIA Yearbook Editorial Committee chooses the best papers during the selection meeting. We used text mining, and term co-occurrence mapping techniques to get an overview of the content of the retrieved articles. Results: We carried out the query in mid-January 2020 and retrieved a de-duplicated result set of 2,407 articles from 1,023 different journals. This year, we nominated 14 papers as candidate best papers, and three of them were finally selected as best papers in the CIS section. As in previous years, the content analysis of the articles revealed the broad spectrum of topics covered by CIS research. Conclusions: We could observe ongoing trends, as seen in the last years. Patient benefit research is in the focus of many research activities, and trans-institutional aggregation of data remains a relevant field of work. Powerful machine-learning-based approaches, that use readily available data now often outperform human-based procedures. However, the ethical perspective of this development often comes too short in the considerations. We thus assume that ethical aspects will and should deliver much food for thought for future CIS research.

The Impact

There is a generalised consensus on the notable role that information systems and technologies (IS/IT) play in organisational performance. This evidence has been widely explored and recognised by both business practice and academia; as a result, the literature on information systems has acquired considerable relevance in the field of business administration due to its major role in the strategic process. In order to observe the impact of information systems research on the scientific community, we carried out a bibliometric study based on an analysis of the concurrences of the key words used in publications on the subject. This type of quantitative analysis can reveal the structure that supports a certain topic in a discipline and its evolution, as well as the most relevant related concepts. Specifically, six theoretical clusters were observed and defined: 1) data analytics, 2) electronic intra and inter-organisational exchanges, 3) dynamic capabilities, 4) geographical agglomerations, sustainability and tourism, 5) ERP, and 6) quality.

Objective: To summarize recent research and to propose a selection of best papers published in 2017 in the field of Clinical Information Systems (CIS). Method: Each year a systematic process is carried out to retrieve articles and to select a set of best papers for the CIS section of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) Yearbook of Medical Informatics. The query aiming at identifying relevant publications in the field of CIS was refined by the section editors during the last years. For three years now, the query is stable. It comprises search terms from the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) thesaurus as well as additional free text search terms from PubMed and Web of Science®. The retrieved articles were categorized in a multi-pass review carried out by the two section editors. The final selection of candidate papers was then peer-reviewed by Yearbook editors and external reviewers. Based on the review results, the best papers were then selected by the IMIA Yearbook editorial board. Text mining, and term co-occurrence mapping techniques were used to get an overview on the content of the retrieved articles. Results: The query was carried out in mid-January 2018, yielding a consolidated result set of 2,255 articles which had been published in 939 different journals. Out of them, 15 papers were nominated as candidate best papers and four of them were finally selected as best papers in the CIS section. Again, the content analysis of the articles revealed the broad spectrum of topics which is covered by CIS research. Conclusions: Modern clinical information systems serve as backbone for a very complex, trans-institutional information logistics process. Data that is produced by, documented in, shared via, organized in, presented by, and stored within clinical information systems is more and more reused for multiple purposes. We found a lot of examples showing the benefits of such data reuse with various novel approaches implemented to tackle the challenges of this process. We also found that the patient moves in the focus of interest of CIS research. So the loop of information logistics begins to close: data from the patients is used to produce value for the patients.

Systems theory is one of the most important and well-used concept to explain the phenomenon in social sciences. Therefore, systems science plays an important role in explaining many of the phenomena in information systems research. Enterprise Systems (ES), Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) and Enterprise Architecture (EA) are three such emerging technologies in which systems’ perspective plays an important role in explaining the growth and development of these technologies. However, there is lack of literature that illustrates the development and the impact of systems science in these three technologies. This research carefully collects and studies 106 existing literature in the field of ES, EA and EIS, and a summary review of all the latest developments in the ways systems theory has been implemented to these three fields as well as different areas of these three technologies. In the conclusion, three future trends are concluded from the review.

Introduction: The intensive care unit can be defined as a complex system that composed of clinical informations, tasks and knowledge. It is also one of the most stressful and most vital parts of healthcare centers which involve a huge amount of information and clinical data daily. These informations should be analyzed and managed in the best way as soon as possible to restore patients to normal by health professionals. Accurate and timely diagnosis, the best treatment and to avoid any possible error in this section can be equivalent to achieve the best possible result and reducing the length of hospitalization and mortality. As a result, due to the complex nature of the critical care and the mass of clinical data; using a combination of medical knowledge with the latest technologies and use of medical informatics capabilities can be the best way to reduce the workload of the sector and improve the quality of patient care. Methods: A systematic search was conducted on the PubMed/MEDLINE, web of science, BMJ, ScienceDirect, and Scopus database for finding studies that have related to critical care and usage of informatics or medical informatics. The collected data and results are summarized by researchers and the results analyzed based on similarities and differences. Results: With increased development of medical informatics and electronic systems has led to substantial progress in the field of critical care since 1980 till now around the world. Several articles, research projects has published. From 1981 to 2016 almost 600 scientific papers were found which included reports, posters and thesis written in context of critical care medical informatics. More than 65 percent of these studies is about designing CDSS in this field. Today, many of these systems are used in medical centers around the world and lead to improving the quality of patient care and reduce medical errors in intensive care units. Among these 600 papers, 230 articles related to our issue in fields of the design of electronic records, clinical information systems, decision support systems, data mining, telemedicine, smart analysis of clinical information and knowledge extraction techniques were selected as the main source of this study. Conclusion: According to results of our study, it seems that critical care is potentially a valuable resource for medical informatics researches. The applied of medical informatics in the different fields of the diagnosis, interpretation, and treatment in different countries have improved the quality of care for patients in critical care field. We can mention some common fields which used such as infection control and early detection in intensive care units, clinical information systems, and CPOE and decision support systems such as APACHE system for grading the severity of illness of patients who hospitalized and even telemedicine. Since this area of research has not been a field of interest in Iran yet, it seems that this study with the aim of review the application of medical informatics in different countries could lead to practical researches in this field.

Objective: To summarize recent research and to propose a selection of best papers published in 2018 in the field of Clinical Information Systems (CIS). Method: Each year a systematic process is carried out to retrieve articles for the CIS section of the IMIA Yearbook of Medical Informatics and to select a set of pest papers for the section. The same query as in the last five years was used. The retrieved articles were categorized in a multi-pass review carried out by the two section editors. The final selection of candidate papers was then peer-reviewed by Yearbook editors and external reviewers. Based on the review results the best papers were then chosen at the selection meeting with the IMIA Yearbook editorial board. Text mining, and term co-occurrence mapping techniques were again used to get an overview of the content of the retrieved articles. Results: The query was carried out in mid-January 2019, yielding a consolidated, deduplicated result set of 2,264 articles which had been published in 957 different journals. This year, we nominated twelve papers as candidates and three of them were finally selected as best papers in the CIS section. Again, the content analysis of the articles revealed the broad spectrum of topics which is covered by CIS research. Conclusions: We could observe ongoing trends from our 2017 analysis. The patient increasingly moves in the focus of the research activities and trans-institutional aggregation of data is still an important field of work. The move to use patient and other clinical data directly for the patient and to support data driven process management, the move away from clinical documentation to patient-focused knowledge generation and support of informed decision, is gaining momentum by the application of new or already known but, due to technological advances, now applicable methodological approaches.

ABSTRACT: How does technology maturity and adoption affect samples, research issues, and use of methodologies in information systems? What is a source of some research issues in strategic and emerging technologies? This paper addresses these questions and others using some frameworks generated by a well-known corporate research group. Gartner Group has been an icon to its corporate clients. However, Gartner has received only limited attention by academics. This paper examines three related frameworks used by Gartner for analyzing information systems (IS) and accounting information systems (AIS) research. Although researchers have previously examined the adoption curve, they generally have ignored the impact of the technology maturity curve and the interaction of the two curves. The paper generates a number of findings, including the finding that where a technology is on the maturity curve limits and facilitates the type of research questions that can be addressed regarding that technology. In addition, Gartner’s “strategic technologies” can provide a basis for understanding which technologies are likely to be appropriate for analysis by researchers.

The Impact

An enduring question in information systems research and practice concerns evaluation of the impact of information systems (IS). It endures, as to date there is no ready solution. Focusing on one aspect, measuring IS success or effectiveness, there are ranges of measures available. At one end of the scale we have perceptual measures like use and user satisfaction; somewhere along that scale we have the more objective measures like quality; whilst at the other end we have objective measures like increased market share, price recovery and increased product quality.
