Journal of Health & Medical Economics provide a platform for the researchers, academicians who are associated with medical economics. The journal publishes articles on the latest research and development in medical management and economic calculations and strategies. Articles are welcome in the mode of research, review, short communications, case studies etc.
Aims & Scope
The aim of this periodical is to provide latest information in the relevant area of research along with providing upgraded information on affordable strategies for better economic management related to medical issues. The broad area of the journal encompasses ways of availing better and cheaper health services, medical insurance and relevant discussions, health policies and medical expenditure planning, novel and latest technologies aiding medical economics, better and cheaper diagnostics methods, patient management and related economics, economical issues related hospital management, management of diseases especially those which cost a lot to the patient for medical management, mathematical or computational prediction or modeling related to health economics, analysis of the clinical trial data in association to medical economics. Areas which could be considered under the broader aspect of the subject apart from these specified topics are also welcome.

It is the study of the utilization and effects of drugs in large numbers of people; it provides an estimate of the probability of beneficial effects of a drug in a population and the probability of adverse effects. It concentrates on clinical patient outcomes from therapeutics by using methods of clinical epidemiology. Pharmacovigilance is a part of this which involves continual monitoring in population for unwanted effects and safety concerns.

Modelling Studies
Modelling studies are used widely to help inform decisions about health care and policy and their use is increasing. A model is an analytical methodology that accounts for events over time and across populations, that is based on data drawn from primary or secondary sources and in the context of health care-evaluation. Models are typically used when it is either impossible or impractical to create experimental conditions in which scientists can directly measure outcomes. Direct measurement of outcomes under controlled conditions will always be more reliable than modelled estimates of outcomes.
