The journal 'Informatics for Health and Social Care' focuses on the application of informatics in the fields of health and social care, emphasizing evidence-based research. It showcases informatics research and practice across various care environments, with a central focus on the direct and indirect use of personal information. The scope of the journal is broad, covering the attributes of nursing information and the lifecycle of related information systems. Consideration of the attributes of nursing information includes the data itself, its representation, structure, related processes, and the context of use, highlighting relevant aspects of communication, computation, cognition, social, and ethical issues. The lifecycle of nursing information systems encompasses a full range from requirements, specifications, theoretical models, and conceptual designs to sustainable implementation and impact assessment. Empirical experiences related to implementation are particularly welcomed. The journal aims to consolidate and expand the core knowledge of the discipline of health and social care informatics. Therefore, it welcomes scientific papers, case studies, and literature reviews. Examples of new methodologies are especially encouraged; for instance, articles may demonstrate how to collect nursing data and transform it into useful information, how to translate informatics research into practice, how to summarize specific outcomes, or provide case studies that facilitate learning from experience.
