JAMIA Open is a peer-reviewed, online-only, and Gold Open Access journal, JAMIA Open provides a global forum for the publication of novel research and insights in the major areas of informatics for biomedicine and health (e.g., translational bioinformatics, clinical research informatics, clinical informatics, public health informatics, and consumer health informatics), as well as related areas such as data science, qualitative research, and implementation science.
JAMIA Open articles, which include application notes, database notes, and patient/community perspectives, alongside original research, reflect the broad diversity of the field of informatics community, focusing on the intersection of informatics, health, communication, and technology, and how that intersection can support patient care through research, practice, and education. JAMIA Open authors are encouraged to make data and source code accessible through publicly accessible repositories that can be cited using digital object identifiers. Accepted manuscripts are required to have a patient/community facing abstract that highlights key findings. Author guidelines.
Neil Sarkar, PhD, MLIS, FACMI, is the Editor-in-Chief and leads a team of informatics leaders serving as the JAMIA Open Editorial Board and Associate Editors.

"Everything is electronic health record-driven": the role of the electronic health record in the emergency department diagnostic process.
April 1, 2025
There is limited knowledge on how providers and patients in the emergency department (ED) use electronic health records (EHRs) to facilitate the diagnostic process. While EHRs can support diagnostic decision-making, EHR features that are not user-centered may increase the likelihood of diagnostic error. We aimed to identify how EHRs facilitate […]
Semantic enrichment of Pomeranian health study data using LOINC and WHO-FIC terminology mapping principles.
April 1, 2025
To semantically enrich the laboratory data dictionary of the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP), a population-based cohort study, with LOINC to achieve better compliance with the FAIR principles for data stewardship.
Aligning prediction models with clinical information needs: infant sepsis case study.
April 1, 2025
Sepsis recognition among infants in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is challenging and delays in recognition can result in devastating consequences. Although predictive models may improve sepsis outcomes, clinical adoption has been limited. Our focus was to align model behavior with clinician information needs by developing a machine learning […]
LLM-IE: a python package for biomedical generative information extraction with large language models.
April 1, 2025
Despite the recent adoption of large language models (LLMs) for biomedical information extraction (IE), challenges in prompt engineering and algorithms persist, with no dedicated software available. To address this, we developed LLM-IE: a Python package for building complete IE pipelines.
