Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will publish a thematic series of high-quality articles on key topics in health communication. Effective communication is essential to successful practice at every level of the health system. All stakeholders are involved: public and private institutions, healthcare professionals, industries, associations, and, above all, citizens. The spread of new information technologies, the adoption of health quality measurements and value-based rewards, as well as the requests of the patient community to promote shared decision-making offer new opportunities. If your paper is well prepared and approved for further publication by the academic editors, you will benefit from a publication discount.
Dr. Alessandra Solari
Guest Editor
