The Business School Alliance for Health Management (BAHM) is pleased to sponsor Healthcare Management, Policy and Innovation (HMPI). HMPI gives academics a forum for circulating ideas and research aimed at improving managerial practice and public policy in the health sector. The target audience is academics, managers, policy makers, and students. HMPI will publish:
- Short original research papers on topics relevant to health sector
management and public policy. - Essays containing deeper analysis than is available in blogs or Op-Ed pages
- Comments from readers
To promote visibility and circulation, Healthcare Management, Policy and Innovation will be published online and each monthly issue of HMPI will be announced by a widely distributed press release.
Why this journal?
Scholars writing in the fields of management and economics have ideas and data that can help improve the health care sector, but their contributions often fail to reach the right audience. This is partly because scholarly journals often suffer from very long lead times, and are narrowly focused on a readership of technical experts. In addition, health services research and medical journals are sometimes unable to take a sufficiently deep dive into managerial/economic issues or provide the objectivity, rigor and detail that discipline-based social-science research can provide.
HMPI is designed to fill this void. The publication will contain short, scholarly essays on current issues in health sector management and public policy, together with short research pieces. Both the essays and research pieces will be written for an audience of well-informed and interested non-specialists. To ensure both accessibility and high quality, the essays will be curated by the editorial board and the short research pieces will additionally pass through a peer-review process.
