Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In view of the great interest in the subject of health and medical care from the perspective of many disciplines and subdisciplines, we are pleased to announce the launch of the second part of our Special Issue. In addition to our regular threads, such as Management–Education–Prevention, this time, we encourage authors to also submit texts emphasizing risk and logistics in healthcare organization. The importance of risk management in healthcare continues to grow, being particularly important during the COVID-19 pandemic. This area has with increasing frequency started to also include adverse events and chronic diseases. A new challenge is the growing population with post-COVID-19 (PC19) syndrome. The role of the area of risk management is becoming more and more important due to the limited and decreasing potential of provision of medical procedures in most countries around the world.
Due to technological progress, an increasing number of innovative applications can be found in the logistics of healthcare processes. An improvement of logistics management enables, among other things, higher operational efficiency of the organization, which is very important in the context of the pandemic.
In addition, we encourage authors to submit texts on health and medical care problems of different countries/regions, so that we can have a spectrum of points of view both due to the diversity of disciplines and also due to the geographic, cultural, and economic aspects of the external environment of patients and medical care. Let us be international in our interdisciplinarity.
