Needs Assessment Statement

The Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) has a responsibility to maintain an ongoing knowledge and understanding of the most current issues in healthcare epidemiology and infection prevention, thus ensuring physicians and other healthcare practitioners are providing the highest standards of patient care. One method of maintaining that standard is through the manuscript review process. Review of manuscripts being considered for publication in SHEA’s journal, Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology (ICHE), provides a platform for reviewers to refine their skills in performing critical analysis of the literature. Such review ultimately increases the quality of the published science by ensuring assessment based on expert perspectives from practice and via a mechanism free from conflict of interest.

Target Audience

The target audience is physicians in clinical practice, research and public health, who are active in multidisciplinary fields, including infectious disease, internal medicine, healthcare epidemiology, microbiology, and pediatrics.
