Modeling is crucial in biomedical and health informatics research and education. This study analyzed publications to identify model types used and their impact on medical informatics curricula, highlighting the need for diverse modeling skills.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical and Health Informatics
  • Information Science
  • Computer Science

Background:

  • Modeling is integral to biomedical and health informatics research, education, and practice.
  • Understanding the types of process models used is essential for curriculum development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the types of process models utilized in current biomedical/health informatics research.
  • To investigate the implications of these modeling approaches for medical informatics curricula.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective observational study of publications from 2004-2005 in the International Journal of Medical Informatics (IJMI) and Methods of Information in Medicine (MIM).
  • Indexed 384 publications based on model types, with in-depth analysis of random samples.
  • Examined differences in modeling within special issues and special topics.
