Health Outcomes Research in Medicine is committed to providing editorial content that advances the field of research and medicine
through bridging patient reported outcomes with clinical practice decisions that are solidly evidence-based. The Journal's role is to
encourage and disseminate three basic principles: 1) the need for evidence for effective patient care, 2) critical evaluation of that
evidence, and 3) incorporating clinical judgment and patient-reported outcomes and preferences into decisions about treatment and treatment
efficacy. Examples of types of articles would include those involving the development, cultural adaptation, and/or validation of patient-reported
outcomes measures developed for general use in clinical practice or drug trials; the development and/or validation of novel measurement
approaches (e.g., transcranial magnetic stimulation in studies of the effectiveness of migraine prophylactics); cost-effectiveness analyses
conducted from the provider or hospital perspective or with implications for patient care; retrospective chart reviews that seek to assess
the validity or reliability of outcome measures; and analyses of databases (e.g., claims data) on practice or prescribing patterns, or
episodes of care.
In summary, the journal should be a medium for discussion and debate about the principles and substance of health
outcomes research. Reviews of theory, methodology, and study findings in special areas of health services research, clinical trials,
systematic literature reviews and meta-analyses are welcome. Research must incorporate author assessment of the validity and implications
of the study as well as a discussion of the study results.
