We aimed to analyze how qualitative methods have been used in health informatics research, focusing on objectives, populations studied, data collection, analysis methods, and fields of analytical origin.
Methods: We conducted a scoping review of original, qualitative empirical research in JAMIA from its inception in 1994 to 2019.
