About the Journal

The International Journal of Health & Business Analytics (IJHBA) is a peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal dedicated to advancing research and practice at the intersection of health, management, and data/decision analytics. IJHBA publishes original articles, case studies, and applied research that demonstrate how analytical methods, digital innovation, and evidence-based strategy can inform decisions across healthcare, public systems, and organizational contexts.
