Qualitative research process allows researchers to gain a holistic overview of the research’s context and capture data on the knowledge of various participants.

In other words, researchers should rely on a choice of which design is most suitable to their community health assessment by clearly making sense of potential data while identifying which […]
The philosophy of science can be compared and exemplified with an innovation toward the science of healthcare. This is particularly important in many science-researched articles that explore the innovation and industry competition. For example, there has been a vital historical debate about and on the role and impact of competition on healthcare innovative activities in […]
