Risk Management and Healthcare Policy

We are pleased to announce a new Article Collection in Risk Management and Healthcare Policy, dedicated to the game-changing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the management of healthcare risk. Since their clinical introduction, AI technologies have revolutionized patient care, offering significant benefits in early disease detection, optimizing personalized treatments, and enabling real-time risk prediction to support healthcare providers in decision-making.

Given the importance of AI in healthcare risk management, Risk Management and Healthcare Policy invites submissions of original research articles, reviews, and perspectives exploring AI applications in managing risks, and their impacts on the healthcare system.

The Collection, edited by Editor-In-Chief Dr Gulsum Kubra Kaya, will be included in Taylor & Francis’ Game Changer Series. This series features Article Collections focused on breakthrough applications or technologies that have significantly altered the standard of care, leading to game-changing improvements in patient outcomes. Papers published within the Game Changer series will benefit from additional promotional activities across Taylor and Francis, increasing the discoverability and visibility of your research.

While the call is open to receive manuscripts across the broad spectrum of AI applications in healthcare risk, the Editors are particularly interested in manuscripts relating to the following areas:

• AI applications in reducing diagnostic errors and adverse events
• AI-driven predictive modeling
• Ethical frameworks and policy implications of AI in clinical decision-making
• AI-driven remote monitoring systems for chronic disease management
• The impact of AI applications or technology on the healthcare system.

Please review the journal Aims and Scope and author submission instructions prior to submitting a manuscript. The deadline for submissions is 1 June 2026.

Please submit your manuscript on our website, quoting the promo code 65A27 for a 20% discount on the Article Publishing Charge and to indicate that your submission is for consideration in this Article Collection.

Dove Medical Press is pleased to invite you to submit your research to an upcoming Article Collection "Healthcare for Cardiorenal Chronic Patients: A Challenge for Social Expenditure", organized by Prof. Caterina Carollo and Prof. Siddiq Anwar in Risk Management and Healthcare Policy.

Cardiorenal syndromes represent a growing global health challenge, characterized by the complex interplay between heart and kidney dysfunction. These conditions are becoming increasingly prevalent, requiring long-term management and multidisciplinary care. The treatment of cardiorenal patients often involves collaboration among various healthcare professionals, which contributes to rising healthcare costs and places significant strain on social expenditure. This Article Collection aims to explore innovative solutions that balance optimal treatment outcomes with sustainable healthcare costs, addressing a pressing issue that affects healthcare systems worldwide, regardless of whether they are public or private.

The rising prevalence of cardiorenal syndromes poses significant challenges to healthcare systems worldwide. These conditions require long-term management and multidisciplinary care, which can strain healthcare resources and increase social expenditure. This Article Collection seeks to address these challenges by fostering research that identifies cost-effective strategies for managing cardiorenal patients. By advancing our understanding of integrated care models and innovative healthcare policies, this Collection aims to provide a foundation for improving patient outcomes while ensuring the sustainability of healthcare systems. The insights gained will be invaluable for policymakers, healthcare providers, and researchers working to mitigate the global impact of these chronic conditions.

We invite submissions that explore integrated and transitional care approaches for cardiorenal patients, including strategies to reduce hospital stays and enhance the quality of life for individuals with chronic heart and kidney failure. Topics of interest include home healthcare models, the role of nursing and healthcare professionals, and innovative interventions to optimize patient outcomes. Additionally, we welcome research articles, reviews, and perspectives that examine the challenges of managing cardiorenal syndromes and propose solutions for sustainable healthcare management. By addressing these diverse aspects, this Collection aims to foster a multidisciplinary dialogue that advances both clinical practice and healthcare policy.

Please review the journal Aims and Scope and author submission instructions prior to submitting a manuscript. The deadline for submissions is 31 October 2026.

Dove Medical Press is pleased to invite you to submit your research to an upcoming Article Collection in Risk Management and Healthcare Policy on "Resilient Health Systems and Policy Responses in Public Health Crises", organized by Prof. Munjae Lee (Yonsei University, South Korea).

Public health crises place significant pressure on healthcare systems, disrupting the continuity of essential services and exposing structural vulnerabilities across care delivery. Events such as pandemics amplify existing inequalities in access to care, inefficiencies in resource allocation, and limitations in infrastructure readiness. These disruptions are further compounded by uncertainty and systemic risks that challenge traditional models of healthcare delivery. Addressing these challenges requires integrated strategies that strengthen health system resilience, enhance risk management capacity, and enable adaptive and data-informed responses to rapidly evolving health needs. This Article Collection aims to explore evidence-based approaches to improving health system resilience while ensuring continuity of essential services during public health crises.

The importance of resilient and risk-responsive healthcare systems has become increasingly evident as large-scale crises generate widespread social and economic disruption. These conditions place pressure on healthcare delivery systems, strain workforce capacity, and exacerbate inequities in access to care. Such challenges reveal critical gaps in risk governance, policy coordination, and system-level decision-making under uncertainty. Without adaptive and data-informed policy frameworks, these disruptions may lead to long-term consequences, including rising healthcare costs, reduced system efficiency, and widening health inequalities. Strengthening healthcare systems therefore requires coordinated policy responses, effective governance mechanisms, and strategic resource allocation to ensure system resilience and sustainable recovery.

This Article Collection invites original research, policy analyses, short reports, case studies, and perspectives that examine health system resilience, risk governance, and policy responses during public health crises.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Health system preparedness, resilience, and continuity of essential services during public health crises
• Risk governance, emergency policy coordination, and decision-making under uncertainty
• Healthcare utilisation, access inequities, and service disruption in crisis settings
• Community-based care models and service continuity, including mental health as one component
• Workforce resilience, patient safety, and adaptive healthcare delivery
• Risk-informed resource allocation, triage policy, and health economic evaluation during emergencies
• Data-informed surveillance, forecasting, and decision support with clear policy relevance
• Comparative evaluations of crisis response policies across healthcare systems

By integrating multidisciplinary perspectives, this Collection aims to generate actionable insights that support policy-relevant, data-informed decision-making and strengthen resilient healthcare systems in the face of future public health crises.

Please review the journal Aims and Scope and author submission instructions prior to submitting a manuscript. The deadline for submissions is 31 January 2027.
