Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Health systems around the world are changing from a paternalistic view of how patients are treated to an approach that espouses “patient-centred care”—an approach that also recognizes the need to consider the impact of new programmes on providers as well as patients. This is embodied in the “Quadruple Aim Framework” of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement.
We, the Guest Editors, are pleased to announce that the journal Healthcare will publish a Special Issue on “Emerging Technologies for Person-Centred Healthcare”. Healthcare covers topics encompassing all aspects of healthcare research, including health policy; therefore, we invite you and your colleagues to submit a manuscript to be considered for publication in this forthcoming Special Issue. For this Special Issue, “emerging technologies” will be defined broadly, including innovative medical devices, pharmaceuticals, combination therapies, and the application of digital technologies in health, including applications of AI, as well as new and transformative programme delivery models. We welcome original research articles and reviews (including systematic, scoping, realist, and narrative reviews), and we look forward to receiving your contributions.

Prof. Dr. Devidas Menon
