As the Official eJournal of the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA) and the Association
of Medical Directors of Information Systems (AMDIS), the ACI will publish approximately
100 peer reviewed articles per year online. ACI aims to establish a platform for knowledge sharing

design and successful and pragmatic deployment.

− electronic prescribing,

− GP information systems),
• administrative and management systems,
• eHealth systems,
• information technology development, deployment, and evaluation,
• socio-technical aspects of information technology and health IT training.
