The journal has known considerable developments since its launch back in 2001. BMC Medical Informatics and Decision Making is attracting more submissions than ever before and publications have climbed by 50% in the last three years.
The 250th article, ‘The influence of context and process when implementing e-health’, by David Boddy and colleagues from the Universities of Glasgow and Aberdeen, discusses factors that affect the implementation of e-health projects and highlights that the integration of information systems in other sectors can inform the delivery of e-health programs in health care systems.
