BACKGROUND Consumer health informatics (CHI) originated in the 1990s. With the rapid development of computer and information technology for health decision making, an increasing number of consumers have obtained health-related information through the internet, and CHI has also attracted the attention of an increasing number of scholars. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze the research themes and evolution characteristics of different study periods and to discuss the dynamic evolution path and research theme rules in a time-series framework from the perspective of a strategy map and a data flow in CHI. METHODS The Web of Science core collection database of the Institute for Scientific Information was used as the data source to retrieve relevant articles in the field of CHI. SciMAT was used to preprocess the literature data and construct the overlapping map, evolution map, strategic diagram, and cluster network characterized by keywords. Besides, a bibliometric analysis of the general characteristics, the evolutionary characteristics of the theme, and the evolutionary path of the theme was conducted. RESULTS A total of 986 articles were obtained after the retrieval, and 931 articles met the document-type requirement. In the past 21 years, the number of articles increased every year, with a remarkable growth after 2015. The research content in 4 different study periods formed the following 38 themes: <i>patient education</i>, <i>medicine</i>, <i>needs</i>, and <i>bibliographic database</i> in the 1999-2003 study period; <i>world wide web</i>, <i>patient education</i>, <i>eHealth</i>, <i>patients</i>, <i>medication</i>, <i>terminology</i>, <i>behavior</i>, <i>technology</i>, and <i>disease</i> in the 2004-2008 study period; <i>websites</i>, <i>information seeking</i>, <i>physicians</i>, <i>attitudes</i>, <i>technology</i>, <i>risk</i>, <i>food labeling</i>, <i>patient</i>, <i>strategies</i>, <i>patient education</i>, and <i>eHealth</i> in the 2009-2014 study period; and <i>electronic medical records</i>, <i>health information seeking</i>, <i>attitudes</i>, <i>health communication</i>, <i>breast cancer</i>, <i>health literacy</i>, <i>technology</i>, <i>natural language processing</i>, <i>user-centered design</i>, <i>pharmacy</i>, <i>academic libraries</i>, <i>costs</i>, <i>internet utilization</i>, and <i>online health information</i> in the 2015-2019 study period. Besides, these themes formed 10 evolution paths in 3 research directions: patient education and intervention, consumer demand attitude and behavior, and internet information technology application. CONCLUSIONS Averaging 93 publications every year since 2015, CHI research is in a rapid growth period. The research themes mainly focus on patient education, health information needs, health information search behavior, health behavior intervention, health literacy, health information technology, eHealth, and other aspects. Patient education and intervention research, consumer demand, attitude, and behavior research comprise the main theme evolution path, whose evolution process has been relatively stable. This evolution path will continue to become the research hotspot in this field. Research on the internet and information technology application is a secondary theme evolution path with development potential.

SummaryBackground: Patient safety concerns every healthcare organization. Adoption of Health information technology (HIT) appears to have the potential to address this issue, however unanticipated and undesirable consequences from implementing HIT could lead to new and more complex hazards. This could be particularly problematic in developing countries, where regulations, policies and implementations are few, less standandarized and in some cases almost non-existing.Methods: Based on the available information and our own experience, we conducted a review of unintended consequences of HIT implementations, as they affect patient safety in developing countries.Results: We found that user dependency on the system, alert fatigue, less communications among healthcare actors and workarounds topics should be prioritize. Institution should consider existing knowledge, learn from other experiences and model their implementations to avoid known consequences. We also recommend that they monitor and communicate their own efforts to expand knowledge in the region.
