Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As healthcare providers in emergency medicine and critical care, we are faced with numerous questions every day: How can we make fast and well-informed clinical decisions? How can we make sure patients are treated at the right place in a timely manner? What tools and information are needed by patients and providers to improve acute healthcare?
These questions lay the framework for research on diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic pathways in emergency medicine and critical care. The last decade was characterized by an impressive increase not only in the quantity, but also in the quality of research in our field. Beginning with robust randomized controlled trials on interventions, we saw the development of innovative methods for observational, diagnostic and prognostic research.
For this Special Issue of Healthcare, I’d like to invite you to submit original research as well as systematic reviews (including scoping and mapping reviews) on diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic pathways in acute healthcare. This includes traditional interventional studies, as well as those on diagnostic and prognostic research. Both clinical- and health services research-oriented contributions are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Dominik Roth
Guest Editor
