The leading nursing society that has brought you the Journal of Nursing Scholarship is pleased to bring you Worldviews on Evidence-Based Nursing. Now publishing 6 issues per year, this peer-reviewed journal and top information resource from The Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International, uniquely bridges knowledge and application, taking a global approach in its presentation of research, policy and practice, education and management, and its link to action in real world settings.  

Wound Medicine is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary and cross-professional journal focusing on clinical, scientific and health economics aspects in the prevention, management and reimbursement in wound care. The journal aims to meet the information need of wound care specialists and service providers by publishing papers on clinical service modeling, service delivery modeling and financial modeling for different reimbursement systems. Submissions are encouraged from leading international experts including those who have a keen interest in wound care management from a health economics perspective, and those involved directly in the care of patients with wounds. In addition, submissions are welcome which advance the translation of science into clinical practice/application to improve outcomes and the patient experience with an emphasis on both health improvement and economic benefits.Topics covered will also include clinical research and its impact on the treatment of wounds. This will facilitate the development of standards and enhancement of guidelines and enable further modification of practice benefiting health care professionals in and beyond Europe as well as the development of international consensus findings.Topics published include:Wound Management:Tools for daily practiceEarly interventionDressingsCare pathwaysOngoing research and developmentService Delivery Modeling:TelemedicineDisease Management CentersManagement and optimum organizational structure to maximize changes in practiceFinancial Modeling:Reimbursement modeling accommodating scientific developments and advances in technologyOptimal validated care pathway based reimbursementEducation in Wound Management:Competencies based self-learningIndustry partnership-based education and trainingWound Medicine accepts the following article types:Original research papersReview articlesSelected conference papersWound Medicine aims to:Advance the translation of science into the clinical practice to improve the patient experience.Put emphasis on both health improvement and economic benefits.Facilitate the development of standards and enhancement of guidelines benefitting health care professionals in and beyond Europe.Function as a strong instrument for interdisciplinary and cross-professional cooperation welcoming submissions from affiliated clinical fields.An international editorial board and reviewers guarantee a timely quality review of your paper within four to six weeks after submission.
