| Summary: | <p>After 20-years as <em>Informatics in Primary Care</em> the journal is renamed <em>Journal of Innovation in Health Informatics</em>. The title was carefully selected to reflect that:</p><p>(1) informatics provides the opportunity to innovate rather than simply automates;</p><p>(2) implementing informatics solutions often results in unintended consequences, and many implementations fail and benefits and innovations may go unrecognised;</p><p>(3) health informatics is a boundary spanning discipline and is by its very nature likely to give rise to innovation.</p><p>Informatics is an innovative science, and informaticians need to innovate across professional and discipline boundaries.</p> |
