Health Services Optimization, Improvement, and Management: Worldwide Experiences

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, health systems have encountered several challenges, and particularly with the COVID-19 pandemic, they have had to undertake a restructuring process to enhance cooperation across all levels of healthcare. This is a worldwide problem that impacts all nations, irrespective of the type of funding, whether it is public or private, which is committed to healthcare.

This topic aims to examine various international instances of care integration, improvement, optimization, and management, both horizontally (between healthcare units of similar care levels or different departments within a hospital) and vertically (between health units operating at different care levels), with a focus on outcomes related to access, efficiency, productivity, and quality of health outcomes, as well as user and/or professional satisfaction.

The Topic “Health Services Optimization, Improvement, and Management: Worldwide Experiences” provides a platform for publishing reviews and original research papers on all aspects of nursing, health services, and health policies. Please join us in creating a diverse collection of articles for a variety of topics. We look forward to receiving contributions.
