Launched in 2013, eGEMs was AcademyHealth’s peer-reviewed, open access journal aimed at accelerating research and quality improvement using electronic health data. In 2019, the journal transitioned to a section within Healthcare: The Journal of Delivery Science and Innovation.

eGEMs is proud to work with a variety of funders to help move cutting edge research out to the field. One way we do that is through sponsored special issues.

Collaborations based on mutual interests and trust can make science move faster and farther.

This special issue includes papers on telehealth, machine learning, and incorporating social determinants into traditional health data.

It is an honor to speak about how health services research is revolutionizing the way we see and respond to health care challenges and opportunities, and I am constantly energized by the promise and impact of your work.
