Editor-in-Chief: Professor Charles V Pollack The Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare aims to publish research in healthcare areas delivered by practitioners of all disciplines. This includes studies and reviews conducted by multidisciplinary teams (involving several academic or professional specializations) as well as research that evaluates or reports on the conduct and functionality of such teams and healthcare processes. In line with the multidisciplinary nature of the journal, authors are recommended to include a statement in the Discussion Section of their manuscript and cover letter. The statement should specify that findings of the study are applicable to healthcare provided by at least two disciplines. The journal covers a very wide range of therapeutic and practice areas and we welcome submissions from healthcare providers representing all specialties across the world, who collaborate using an interdisciplinary approach. As these research fields are pivotal across all matters of human health, the journal seeks to highlight crucial and quality research from experts that can be reflected in clinical and practical application across a variety of healthcare settings. Specific Topics Covered by the Journal Include: Healthcare Delivery and Systems • The effectiveness and challenges of multidisciplinary teams in patient care• Integration of electronic health records: benefits, barriers, and impact on care coordination• Patient safety, quality improvement, and the role of multidisciplinary approaches• The impact of telemedicine and digital health tools on multidisciplinary care delivery Chronic Disease Management • Multidisciplinary approaches to managing diabetes, heart failure, COPD, and other chronic conditions• Personalized exercise and rehabilitation programs for long COVID and other chronic illnesses• The role of pharmacists, nurses, and allied health professionals in chronic disease management Mental Health and Behavioral Health • Collaborative care models for depression, anxiety, and severe mental illness• The intersection of mental health and chronic physical illness: multidisciplinary strategies• The role of sleep quality in overall health and multidisciplinary interventions for sleep disorders Aging, Geriatrics, and Palliative Care • Multidisciplinary management of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease• Frailty, falls, and polypharmacy in older adults: team-based approaches• Palliative and end-of-life care: integrating medical, nursing, and psyc
