Aim and Scope: The Journal of Health Integrated Hospital Practices (JHIHp) is a peer-reviewed, international journal dedicated to advancing the science, implementation, and evaluation of integrated care models within the hospital ecosystem. In an era of increasing medical specialization and fragmented patient pathways, JHIHp serves as a pivotal platform for disseminating research that bridges disciplinary and departmental silos.

The journal focuses on practical, evidence-based strategies that seamlessly connect prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation across various specialties and services. Our core mission is to improve patient outcomes, enhance operational efficiency, and foster a holistic care culture by promoting collaboration and breaking down traditional barriers in hospital settings.

 

Key Areas of Interest Include:

Interprofessional Collaboration: mStudies on teamwork between physicians, nurses, pharmacists, physiotherapists, social workers, and other allied health professionals to create unified care plans.

 

Care Pathway Integration: Research on the development, implementation, and outcomes of standardized, multidisciplinary care pathways for specific conditions (e.g., stroke, cancer, congestive heart failure).

Technology for Integration: Explorations of Health Information Technology (HIT), Electronic Health Records (EHR), and digital platforms that facilitate communication and data sharing between departments.

 

Patient-Centered Integrated Care: Models that involve patients and their families as active partners in the care process, ensuring continuity from admission to discharge and beyond.

 

Operational and Financial Models: Analyses of payment structures, budgeting, and hospital management systems that incentivize and support integrated care over volume-based, fragmented services.

 

Mental and Physical Health Integration: Initiatives that bridge the gap between hospital-based medical care and psychiatric or psychological services.

 

The Journal of Health Integrated Hospital Practices (JHIHp) is the definitive forum for transforming the modern hospital from a collection of specialized units into a cohesive, patient-focused healing environment.

History and Mission

 

The Journal of Health Integrated Hospital Practices was launched in response to a clear and growing need identified by clinicians, administrators, and health systems researchers. Despite advances in medical science, the system of delivery within hospitals has often lagged, leading to inefficiencies and patient dissatisfaction.

Our mission is to accelerate the transformation of hospitals into truly integrated systems by:

 

Disseminating the highest quality evidence on integrated care models.

Fostering a global community of practice among professionals dedicated to this vision.

Informing policy and leadership decisions with robust scientific findings.

 

The Journal of Health Integrated Hospital Practices (JHIHp) is more than just a publication; it is a catalyst for change. We invite you to join us in building the scientific foundation for the connected, efficient, and profoundly human hospital of the future
