Healthcare and Policy
With the rich and vast volume of information publicly available today, healthcare policies are readily shared for all to read. These healthcare policies, referring to both physical and mental health, are created by healthcare professionals to govern management and treatment strategies of diseases. Whilst the regularity of healthcare policy introductions and updates are relevant to the disease referred to, the health and safety of the general population remains paramount.
The scope of the collection includes but is not limited to:
- Patient quality of care
- Physical and mental health
- Elderly, adults and adolescents
- Bridging gaps between big data and data protection
- Advantages and disadvantages of social media use
- Efficiency and effectiveness of macro and micro healthcare systems
Collection advisors: Denis Horgan (European Alliance for Personalised Medicine, Belgium)
