(generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
Health, Interprofessional Practice and Education is the only open access, peer-reviewed interprofessional healthcare journal independently published by a health professions university. The journal’s academic home, leadership, and scope are driven by a commitment to ensuring that the best evidence to inform interprofessional practice and pedagogy is openly available to all clinicians and educators. HIPE seeks to publish original research (both quantitative and qualitative), reviews and educational materials that directly address the practical challenges and opportunities of interprofessional care and education. Work published in Health, Interprofessional Practice and Education should have immediate practical application for clinicians and educators who value interprofessional teamwork, evidence-based practice and culturally competent care. Articles that indicate methods of navigating interdisciplinary conflicts/disagreements (e.g. scope of practice issues) in the service of high quality patient care are of particular interest. The editors recognize that the value of evidence is largely determined by its accessibility, both in format and presentation. As such, Health, Interprofessional Practice and Education encourages applied research and writing that focuses on implications of findings for practice. Articles that address only one profession’s work may be submitted if the content of the work is such that it provides insight into that profession (or into a disease/condition) that would be valuable within the context of interprofessional practice or education.
