Special Issue Information
The healthcare industry is an aggregation and integration of sectors within the economic system that provides goods and services to treat patients with curative, preventive, rehabilitative, and palliative care. It includes the generation and commercialization of goods and services for maintaining and re-establishing health. The modern healthcare industry includes three essential branches, services, products, and finance, and may be divided into many sectors and categories. The industry depends on interdisciplinary teams of trained professionals and paraprofessionals to meet the health needs of individuals and populations.
The main objective of this Special Issue is to advance the fields of the healthcare industry and innovation management. Thus, papers submitted for the Special Issue should empirically or quantitatively address the valuable implications of the healthcare industry.
