“…Keywords are extracted from the core content of articles and are generally used to identify publication topics, indicate publication scope, and describe theories and methodologies used in research [23]. If a keyword is repeated frequently in a given field, the topic can be regarded as having received much more attention and can be treated as a hot topic in this publication field [21,22]. Therefore, analysing keywords according to their frequency semantics allows for a summary of publication hot topics in certain fields.…”

“…Segura-Sampedro et al [6] proposed that follow-up telemedicine based on smartphones is feasible and safe for early postoperative complications, and with the development of specific mobile applications, this follow-up may become standard practice. Deng et al [22] suggested that in developing countries and those with developing economies, the research and application of mobile phones in health care should be strengthened. Based on the above analysis, we believe smartphones still have great research value and in-depth research space in the field of telemedicine, and research evaluating applications of various technologies will especially receive more attention.…”

Background: Smartphones have captured the attention of many researchers in the field of health and medical services. This study aimed to quantify research ‘hotspots’ in this field, analyse the relationship between research hotspots and the resulting knowledge groups, and provide visual representations of the findings. Methods: Using bibliometric analysis software tools for keyword frequency analysis, we identified research hotspots using keywords from PubMed entries from a 14-year period. The analyses of hotspots were performed using keyword co-occurrence analysis, social network analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), multidimensional scaling analysis, and network visualization technology. Results: The results confirmed that the number of articles has been increasing each year. The topics of mobile applications, telemedicine, self-care, Diabetes Mellitus, treatment outcomes, health promotion, and patient satisfaction associated with smartphones were highlighted. The 35 high-frequency keywords that were extracted constituted five principal components of research related to information technology and telemedicine, diabetes, t-health promotion, and smartphones/handheld computers. Figures of knowledge network maps and perceptual maps show the relationship between the high-frequency keywords. Conclusions: The research of smartphones for health and medical services has experienced significant growth and expansion in knowledge in the last 14 years. Research hotspots for smartphone-related information technology, telemedicine, and health promotion have broad prospects for development. Moreover, this study provides directions for research hotspots and future research in the field of smartphone applications for health and medical services.

“…However, real-world clinical data from EMR and other CIS have not been widely used for secondary data research in China. The second health care reform in China established medical digitalization as an essential strategic development direction [34,35]. The reform also set the long-term goal of building and improving HIT, especially EMR software infrastructure in various hospitals.…”

Background To achieve universal access to medical resources, China introduced its second health care reform in 2010, with health information technologies (HIT) as an important technical support point. Objective This study is the first attempt to explore the unique contributions and characteristics of HIT development in Chinese hospitals from the three major aspects of hospital HIT—human resources, funding, and materials—in an all-around, multi-angled, and time-longitudinal manner, so as to serve as a reference for decision makers in China and the rest of the world when formulating HIT development strategies. Methods A longitudinal research method is used to analyze the results of the CHIMA Annual Survey of Hospital Information System in China carried out by a Chinese national industrial association, CHIMA, from 2007 to 2018. The development characteristics of human resources, funding, and materials of HIT in China for the past 12 years are summarized. The Bass model is used to fit and predict the popularization trend of EMR in Chinese hospitals from 2007 to 2020. Results From 2007 to 2018, the CHIMA Annual Survey interviewed 10,954 hospital CIOs across 32 administrative regions in Mainland China. Compared with 2007, as of 2018, in terms of human resources, the average full time equivalent (FTE) count in each hospital’s IT center is still lower than the average level of US counterparts in 2014 (9.66 FTEs vs. 34 FTEs). The proportion of CIOs with a master’s degree or above was 25.61%, showing an increase of 18.51%, among which those with computer-related backgrounds accounted for 64.75%, however, those with a medical informatics background only accounted for 3.67%. In terms of funding, the sampled hospitals’ annual HIT investment increased from ¥957,700 (US $136,874) to ¥6.376 million (US $911,261), and the average investment per bed increased from ¥4,600 (US $658) to ¥8,100 (US $1158). In terms of information system construction, as of 2018, the average EMR implementation rate of the sampled hospitals exceeded the average level of their US counterparts in 2015 and their German counterparts in 2017 (85.26% vs. 83.8% vs. 68.4%, respectively). The results of the Bass prediction model show that Chinese hospitals will likely reach an adoption rate of 91.4% by 2020 (R2=0.95). Conclusions In more than 10 years, based on this top-down approach, China’s medical care industry has accepted government instructions and implemented the unified model planned by administrative intervention. With only about one-fifth of the required funding, and about one-fourth of the required human resources per hospital as compared to the US HITECH project, China’s EMR coverage in 2018 exceeded the average level of its US counterparts in 2015 and German counterparts in 2017. This experience deserves further study and analysis by other countries.

“…The most current pharmacy curricula in Thailand barely address the principles and skills concerned with informatics, and Thai pharmacists usually acquire computer literacy and informatics skills through personal-interest, training and selfstudy. Another example study by Deng et al (2018) analysed the quality and quantity of research by Chinese academics in medical informatics based on their articles published in international specialty journals in recent years and examined medical informatics research hotspots in China.…”

“…Based on the combination of the search terms, the study explored the involvement of informatics as a modern medicine system. Deng et al (2018) produced a literature review that analysed existing medical informatics research by Chinese academics on their articles published in international specialty journals. The main purpose of that study was to summarize the experiences and lessons learned in the medical informatics field.…”

This paper presents a contemporary literature review to provide insights into the current health informatics literature. The objective of this study is to identify emerging directions of current health informatics research from the latest and existing studies in the health informatics domain. We analyse existing health informatics studies using a thematic analysis, so that justified sets of research agenda can be outlined on the basis of these findings. We selected articles that are published in the science direct online database. The selected 73 sample articles (published from 2014 to 2018 in premier health informatics journals) are considered as representative samples of health informatics studies. The analysis revealed ten topic areas and themes that would be of paramount importance for researchers and practitioners to follow. The findings provide an important foundational understanding for new health informatics studies.
