Editors in MUDRIH
International Journal of Evidence-Based Healthcare
Dr Hanan Khalil has accepted the role of Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Evidence-Based Healthcare (IJEBH). Ms Helen Chambers will be the managing editor.
Published quarterly, The International Journal of Evidence-Based Healthcare is dedicated to communicating important new studies relevant to current debates and developments in evidence-based healthcare. Papers are grouped under the categories of Evidence Synthesis (translation), Evidence Transfer (dissemination), and Evidence Utilisation (implementation and evaluation).
The journal also features original commentary, articles on methodology and letters to the editor, providing a global forum for discussion of multidisciplinary, evidence-based healthcare practice.
“In the next era of the International Journal of Evidence based Healthcare, I am looking to include the work of a number of disciplines such as pharmacy, physiotherapy, podiatry and other allied health practitioners that adopt partnership models to facilitate translation of science into practice in order to inform policy making,” Dr Khalil said.
“New knowledge about approaches that promote the implementation of evidence to improve patient care across various practice settings and populations has the capacity to inform practice change.
“The IJEBH welcomes articles that describe and report on active involvement and collaboration of all stakeholders in terms of methodological development related to ways to communicate knowledge. We will be also looking to publish innovative articles of scientific rigour using the most appropriate methods to produce valid, generalizable answers on how to implement evidence into practice.”
“Clinical practice guidelines is another section that I would like to introduce to the journal. Practice guidelines are a result of a comprehensive assessment of the current scientific evidence. They provide detailed, evidence based guidance for clinicians to assess and manage various conditions. The journal will devote a section to clinical practice guidelines development to inform various practice models.
“Through the incorporation of those sections mentioned above, we are hoping to address some of the gaps identified in translation science by making use of the strengths of multidisciplinary collaborations for better knowledge translation across the health disciplines, to improve health outcomes worldwide.”
The International Journal of Evidence-Based Healthcare also publishes research conducted by the Joanna Briggs Institute. JBI is an international collaboration of health researchers and clinicians that aims to promote best practice in healthcare.
Published since 2003, the journal moved to Lippincott Williams & Wilkins earlier this year. It continues on a quarterly publication schedule, in an online format.
