國際趨勢突出了衛生政策過程中經濟、政治和法律考慮的匯合。衛生經濟學、政策和法律是從這些角度研究衛生和社會保健政策問題的學術論壇，對學術界、決策者和實踐者都有用處。國際出版社出版理論和應用著作。相當重視嚴格的概念發展和分析，以及提出與政策進程有關的經驗證據。HEPL的一個關鍵輸出是原創研究文章，但編輯也鼓勵讀者為社論、評論文章和辯論文章提出主題。

International trends highlight the confluence of economics, politics and legal considerations in the health policy process. Health Economics, Policy and Law serves as a forum for scholarship on health and social care policy issues from these perspectives, and is of use to academics, policy makers and practitioners. HEPL is international in scope and publishes both theoretical and applied work. Considerable emphasis is placed on rigorous conceptual development and analysis, and on the presentation of empirical evidence that is relevant to the policy process. A key output of HEPL is original research articles, but the editor also encourages readers to propose topics for editorials, review articles and debate essays.
