Our goal is to publish up-to-date, high-quality, scientific reviews on national and international platforms, including innovations in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, health management and health policies, quality in health, patient safety, and patient-oriented care. It is published three times a year. As a peer-reviewed journal, incoming manuscripts are evaluated by the consultants, primarily for compliance with the standard requirements for medical articles as defined by the International Committee of Editors of Medical Journals (available at www.icmje.org). Manuscripts that have been published or submitted for review in another journal or manuscripts that are not prepared according to the journal guidelines are not accepted for review.
