Welcome to the research portal of the Biomedical Informatics (BMI) research team. We are located within the Division of Community Health Sciences of St George’s – University of London. Our main research focuses include the use of routinely collected clinical data for research and interventions, knowledge and information management in clinical context, improving the quality of electronic patient record, formative evaluation of computer mediated consultations and development of biomedical informatics as an academic discipline.
