Workgroup Outputs


The ISCOME Workgroup is actively publishing books and journal articles that have been generated on the knowledge integration track of ISCOME’s strategic research framework. In addition, six interdisciplinary teams are now generating and conducting evidence-based research agendas to inform contributions of communication science to six hot buttons of safe and high quality care.
