Health Systems promotes the idea that all aspects of health and healthcare delivery can be viewed from a systems perspective. The belief of the journal is that health and healthcare systems are characterized by complexity and interconnectedness, where "everything affects everything else".
The principal aims of Health Systems is to bring together critical health operations and IT research and commentary, and to provide a forum that welcomes diverse viewpoints and research approaches. To find out more about the journal ethos, please read our inaugural editorial.
We encourage submissions that provide an interdisciplinary perspective and insights to benefit multiple disciplines.
We focus on submissions that look at healthcare systems and publish research that explores health IT and operational research– areas that are underrepresented by research publications. Each area has a dedicated editor that understands the domain and the international view from a systems perspective. We welcome submissions in the following health systems areas:
- AI and Data Science
- Clinical Informatics and Telemedicine
- Consumer Health Informatics and Mobile Health
- Digital Transformation of Healthcare
- Disease Modelling
- Group Modelling and Facilitation in Healthcare
- Health IT Economics
- Health IT Quality and Evaluation
- Health System Evaluation using OR for Emerging Problems (e.g. Covid19, Global Challenges)
- Healthcare Design Science
- Human-Computer Interaction in Health
- Mathematical Modelling
- Omics and Precision Healthcare
- Operations Management
- Problem Structuring and Soft OR
- Public Health Informatics
- Simulation Modelling
- Technical Architecture of Health IT
We encourage potential authors to
contact our Area Editors to see if their research fits within the scope of
Health Systems.
Pure science disciplines, such as for example clinical medicine, biochemistry and pharmacology do not fall within the remit of Health Systems.
Once your paper has been assessed for suitability by the editor, it will then be double anonymized peer-reviewed by independent, anonymous expert referees.
