IHS provides a forum for original research and scholarship about healthcare delivery, organization, management, workforce, policy, and research methods relevant to health innovation. The IHS aims to support evidence-informed policy and practice by publishing research, systematic and other scholarly reviews, critical discussion, and commentary on the highest standard.

The journal welcomes studies that aim to evaluate and understand complex healthcare interventions and health policies and employ the most rigorous designs and methods appropriate for the research question. The journal also seeks to advance the quality of research by publishing methodological papers introducing or elaborating on analytic techniques, measures, and research methods.

The journal has been publishing original peer-reviewed articles of interest to the healthcare community since 2021, making it one of the contributive repositories of scholarship in this field. The IHS offers authors the benefits of:

• A respected health innovation journal in its field

• A truly global readership

• Highly efficient editorial processes: average time from submission to first decision of 7 days

• Rapid initial screening for suitability and editorial interest

• Excellent peer reviewers drawn from a range of health service research disciplines

The IHS endorses the Equator Network (http://www.equator-network.org/). This international initiative seeks to improve the reliability and value of research literature in health care by promoting transparent and accurate reporting of studies. We ask our authors to use appropriate reporting guidelines to ensure excellence in scientific reporting. The authors also welcome excellent original research, reviews, and discussions relevant to health innovation around the globe.
