International Journal of Risk & Safety in Medicine (IJRSM)
Journal Descriptions
The International Journal of Risk & Safety in Medicine is a respected bimonthly peer-reviewed academic journal that provides a global forum for research on risk assessment and safety improvement in medical practice. First published in 1990, it has established itself as a key outlet for interdisciplinary scholarship that bridges clinical science, health policy, and patient safety research. The journal’s mission is to enhance understanding of how risks inherent in healthcare delivery can be effectively identified, managed, and minimized to improve patient outcomes. To this end, it publishes original empirical studies, systematic reviews, clinical experience reports, and conceptual analyses addressing a wide range of topics—including adverse event epidemiology, pharmacovigilance systems, safety culture in healthcare, error reporting practices, medico-legal liability, and the balance of treatment benefits vs. potential harms. By facilitating rigorous debate and evidence-based insights, the journal supports clinicians, healthcare administrators, and policymakers in developing and implementing strategies that enhance the safety and quality of care across diverse clinical contexts. Its interdisciplinary approach welcomes contributions from medicine, pharmacy, nursing, public health, and health systems research, making it a valuable resource for academics and practitioners committed to reducing risk and improving patient safety in health services globally.
