This issue of the journal focuses on an important but often underpublished area of biomedical informatics: the cost-effectiveness of informatics interventions in healthcare. The adoption of electronic health records (EHR) across the USA has been accelerated in response to legislation, but there is still much uncertainty regarding costs as well as short and long-term effects, given the many different ways in which systems are implemented and the high diversity of institutions served. A systematic review by O'Reilly ( see page 423 ) covers economic evaluations of medication management systems, and the author also describes the cost-effectiveness of a clinical decision support system (CDSS) for diabetes in another article ( see page 341 ). Frisse ( see page 328 ) reports on the financial impact of EHR in an emergency department, and Subramanian ( see page 439 ) analyzes the financial impact of a CDSS for renal dose adjustments. The financial aspects are not sufficient to assess the full impact of information systems and informatics interventions. Several articles relate to the impact of systems in the quality of care. Connelly ( see page 334 ) describes …

AMIA has been the home for informatics professionals for 22 years, and has undergone a remarkable evolution during that time. Its autumn meeting continues to be a vibrant setting for the best in informatics science and practice, building on a tradition that started with SCAMC (the Symposium on Computer Applications in Medical Care) in 1977. Its journal, created in the early 1990s, is now arguably the preeminent journal in our discipline, combining cutting-edge science with important insights from the practice community. I have been honored to serve as AMIA's President during the past 3 of those 22 years and would like to take a moment to reflect on our recent accomplishments while acknowledging our ongoing challenges and exciting opportunities for the future.

This issue of JAMIA completes my first year as the Editor-in-Chief. The extended scope, improved workflow, and increase in editorial staff have allowed us to reduce the median review time to <30 days, even with a nearly 70% increase in original submissions. It is exciting to see an increasing number of authors with diverse backgrounds submitting from many different institutions in numerous countries, reinforcing our intent to reflect the best work of informatics without borders . This issue focuses on electronic health records (EHRs, including medical and personal health records (PHRs)) and Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS). The debate on what really constitutes meaningful use of information technology (IT) in healthcare has never been so intense, with informatics professionals playing a central role in designing, implementing, and evaluating relevant information systems.

As I discussed in a recent president's column,1 the roots of AMIA's founding and early identity were largely academic, with an emphasis on informatics and computer science research, both basic and applied. Yet, with the passage of time, yesterday's research has evolved into standard approaches and tools. Today's clinical computing products often reflect research that was carried out in academia or other investigational settings 10, 20, or 30 years ago. Similarly, today's research and development work will be reflected in products a decade or so in the future. This observation emphasizes the ongoing importance of basic and applied research, to fill the pipeline with the ideas and methods that will define the systems of tomorrow. With the evolution of the field, AMIA has necessarily evolved as well, and now embraces a much more diverse membership and, accordingly, different member expectations.2 There is a greater emphasis on applied research and practice, health information technology policy, broad workforce development, and the increasingly successful and mature world of commercial health information technology. In this column I would like to focus on AMIA's increasing interactions with the corporate world and our major efforts to identify and nurture synergies at that interface. AMIA, its members, and the biomedical informatics community have much to contribute to industry and much to gain from healthy relationships with the companies that work in diverse …

In this special section, initiated by Past President Joyce Mitchell in the expectation that it will become an ACMI tradition, we memorialize the lives of the fellows who died during her presidency. There were seven. Six were born a generation before the term informatics was coined and more than 50 years before the founding of AMIA. Six lived through World War II, four through the Great Depression. Two of the deceased— Helmuth Orthner and William Yamamoto —were founding fellows of ACMI in 1984, while three— Allan Pryor , Harold Schoolman , and William Schwartz —were elected the following year. Joachim Dudeck and Mario Stefanelli became fellows in 2001. Most of us are aware of the accomplishments of these men (for details, visit the ACMI wiki), but few are familiar with the lives they lived. Here, aided by the reminiscences of families, friends, and colleagues, we celebrate those lives. (An article about Marco Ramoni , who was elected to ACMI posthumously, appears on page 369 of this issue.) Joachim Dudeck, a physician, recognized the medical potential of informatics early in his career and greatly enjoyed the intellectual camaraderie of others of like mind. In fact, he reveled in it. Joachim treasured his colleagues. He loved visiting them, hosting them, opera-going with them, dining with them, wining with them, discoursing with them, and seeing to their comfort. Joachim was a devotee of fine living and a consummately social being. ![Graphic][1] “When I visited for his 65th birthday conference, I was constantly accompanied by someone from his staff to make sure I got from the airport to the hotel, from the hotel to the airport, and everywhere in between.

Electronic health record systems are in different phases of implementation in the US and abroad. From the perspective of enhancing the quality of healthcare, one of the most attractive features of electronic health record systems is the ability to implement computer-based clinical decision support. However, utilization of two main subsets of electronic health record systems, electronic medical records systems (EMRs) and personal health records systems (PHRs), is still very heterogeneous across institutions and individuals. EMRs are not always perceived as advantageous from the standpoint of individual clinicians, with paper records still being the main form of documentation in several institutions. PHRs are still not well integrated into EMRs and their adoption by patients is not widespread. In this issue, we include articles that focus on how electronic health records are being used and how clinical decision support is making …

The Morris F. Collen Award is given each year, when appropriate, to pioneers in the field of medical informatics who best exemplify the teaching and practice of Morrie Collen. This year's recipient, Dr. Marion Ball, has devoted her career to building bridges, trying to bridge the gaps that divided countries and regions, professions and disciplines, colleagues and co-workers, public sector and private entities. Marion Jokl was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1940, where her parents had settled in 1933 after leaving Nazi Germany. Her father, Ernst Jokl, was an international leader in sports medicine, and her mother was a sports teacher and corrective therapist. Both of her parents were on the 1928 German Olympic team and her mother was a gold medalist in track and field. In 1951, when the oppressive apartheid policy was proclaimed in South Africa, the family quickly left and returned to Germany. In 1952 they immigrated to the United States. In 1953, at the urging of famed University of Kentucky basketball coach Adolph Rupp, Dr. Jokl joined the medical faculty at the University in Lexington to develop a sports medicine program. Both Marion and her younger brother, Peter, graduated from high school in Lexington. Marion, who had attended eight schools on three continents, completed one year at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, before returning to …

Collen Award is given each year, when appropriate, to pioneers in the field of medical informatics who best exemplify the teaching and practice of Morrie Collen. This year's recipient, Dr. Marion Ball, has devoted her career to building bridges, trying to bridge the gaps that divided countries and regions, professions and disciplines, colleagues and co-workers, public sector and private entities.\u0000\u0000Marion Jokl was born in Johannesburg, South Africa in 1940, where her parents had settled in 1933 after leaving Nazi Germany. Her father, Ernst Jokl, was an international leader in sports medicine, and her mother was a sports teacher and corrective therapist. Both of her parents were on the 1928 German Olympic team and her mother was a gold medalist in track and field. In 1951, when the oppressive apartheid policy was proclaimed in South Africa, the family quickly left and returned to Germany. In 1952 they immigrated to the United States. In 1953, at the urging of famed University of Kentucky basketball coach Adolph Rupp, Dr. Jokl joined the medical faculty at the University in Lexington to develop a sports medicine program. Both Marion and her younger brother, Peter, graduated from high school in Lexington. Marion, who had attended eight schools on three continents, completed one year at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, before returning to …","PeriodicalId":344533,"journal":{"name":"J. Am.

Few data exist about the impact of computerized prescribing systems on outpa- tient medication errors (MEs) and adverse drug events (ADEs). We compared the rates of MEs and ADEs in handwritten sites versus sites with basic computerized prescribing. These systems reduced ME rates but did not significantly reduce ADE rates. Failure to monitor accounted for a large per- centage of preventable ADEs. More advanced computerized prescribing systems with decision sup- port and monitoring functions may be necessary to reduce outpatient ADE rates.
