Many thanks to Rebecca Jerome, MLS for developing and iteratively refining search profiles for both clinical and bioinformatics, and to Yin Aphinyanaphongs and his faculty mentors, whose Evidence Based Medicine search engine* for identifying high quality literature was applied to articles indexed by the MeSH heading 'Medical Informatics' and its child terms, for publications with Entrez date Nov 2005 – Oct 2006,

 
Clinical informatics searching methods: 

• Clinical trials that included > 100 patients or providers, and those which appear to have the potential for significant clinical impact, e.g. the carvedilol study)
• Primary PubMed search string:  randomized controlled trial[ptyp] AND (telemedicine[mh] OR informatics[tiab] OR medical informatics[mh])
• Secondary PubMed search string: randomized[ti] AND (telemedicine[mh] OR informatics[tiab] OR medical informatics[mh])
• Follow-up with examination of editorials from JAMIA and news sites (e.g. Reuters) to identify 2-3 additional studies

 Computational biology searching methods:

• Primary PubMed search string: computational biology[mh] NOT (review[pt] OR letter[pt] OR case reports[pt] OR editorial[pt])
• Secondary PubMed search string: computational biology[mh] AND (letter[pt] OR editorial[pt])
• To see which articles were generating more discussion, follow-up with consideration of key science blogs and news sites
