While the clinical story of COVID-19 is evolving in the medical literature, the management side of this crisis lacks a natural home for timely publications. The editorial team of HMPI has recognized this gap and plans to use this journal as a vehicle to help address this unmet need in providing important management information.
In this ongoing special issue of HMPI, we highlight several brief papers written to help medical system leaders address some of their short-term and intermediate challenges of managing the COVID-19 pandemic. We welcome additional submissions on management innovations, successes and failures, and lessons learned from those addressing the crisis and those preparing for the virus.
Please feel free to circulate these papers, and please send us papers of interest or topics for the editorial board to consider. We will add new articles as we accept them.
