A Special Section on Advanced Emerging Computational Intelligence Technology for Medical Image and Health Informatics

SummaryTo summarize current excellent research in the field of health technology assessment.Synopsis of the articles selected for the IMIA Yearbook 2006.Five excellent articles representing the research in four different nations were selected for the IMIA Yearbook 2006 from three international peer reviewed journals.The best paper selection for the Yearbook section ‘Assessing Information Technologies for Health’ presents papers evaluating the benefit and side-effects of information technology in various settings. They clearly indicate that benefit of IT in health care can be achieved when the systems are appropriately designed, implemented and operated. Besides the presented quantitative studies, also qualitative study designs are of value to find unintended effects of IT, or to better explain found effects. IT evaluation supports a reflective practice on how health informatics influences health care, enabling the emergence of an evidence-based health informatics.

Summary Objective: To summarize significant research contributions on ethics in medical informatics published in 2019. Methods: An extensive search using PubMed/Medline was conducted to identify the scientific contributions published in 2019 that address ethics issues in medical informatics. The selection process comprised three steps: 1) 15 candidate best papers were first selected by the two section editors; 2) external reviewers from internationally renowned research teams reviewed each candidate best paper; and 3) the final selection of three best papers was conducted by the editorial committee of the Yearbook. Results: The three selected best papers explore timely issues of concern to the community and demonstrate how ethics considerations influence applied informatics. Conclusion: With regard to ethics in informatics, data sharing and privacy remain primary areas of concern. Ethics issues related to the development and implementation of artificial intelligence is an emerging topic of interest.
