The?International Journal of Privacy and Health Information Management
(IJPHIM)?publishes three types of rigorous and high quality articles:
research articles, research notes, and research reviews. Research articles
are full papers presenting innovative findings that make substantial
theoretical and empirical contributions to knowledge in the field by using
various theoretical and methodological approaches. Research notes are novel,
complete but concise high quality research articles; they may include
exploratory studies, extensions of articles previously published in IJPHIM
and summaries of doctoral theses in related areas. Research reviews are
insightful and carefully crafted articles that conceptualize research areas,
synthesize previous innovative findings, advance the understanding of the
field, and identify and develop future research directions. Authors may
submit manuscripts that qualify for any of these three categories.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:
? Advances in data formats and knowledge representation of healthcare data
? Ambient assisted living and smart spaces
? Artificial intelligence and pattern recognition
? Bioinformatics and computational biology
? Body sensor networks
? Classifications/nomenclatures (e.g., SNOMED-CT, ICD-10, ICD-11, ICPC,
etc.)
? Country and disease-wise specialized systems for healthcare information
management
? Data collection from hospitals
? Data encryption
? Data masking and obfuscation
? Data privacy
? Data quality
? Decision support systems
? Development of necessary policies and legislation of health information
management (information governance and health information management)

de-identification, and anonymization of health data)
? Issues related to the consequences of sharing HIM across boundaries,
nationally, and internationally
? Ontologies

officers, and health information analysts)
? Semantic web
? Smart cards
? Smart grids
? Surveillance of record usage
? Training and education for HIMs, HIs, and other e-health workers
continuing education and professional development
? Use of digital certificates
