  78. Health and Place

    Health and Place

    An interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of health and health care in which place or location matters.

    Recent years have seen closer links evolving between medical geography, medical sociology, health policy, public health and epidemiology. The journal reflects these convergences, which emphasise differences in health and health care between places, the experience of health and care in specific places, the development of health care for places, and the methodologies and theories underpinning the study of these issues.

    The journal brings together international contributors from geography, sociology, social policy and public health. It offers readers comparative perspectives on the difference that place makes to the incidence of ill-health, the structuring of health-related behaviour, the provision and use of health services, and the development of health policy.

    At a time when health matters are the subject of ever-increasing attention, Health & Place provides accessible and readable papers summarizing developments and reporting the latest research findings.

  84. Health Policy

    Health Policy

    Intended to be a vehicle for the exploration and discussion of health policy and health system issues and is aimed in particular at enhancing communication between health policy and system researchers, legislators, decision-makers and professionals concerned with developing, implementing, and analysing health policy, health systems and health care reforms, primarily in high-income countries outside the U.S.A.

    The journal encourages the submission of short, full-length, comparative and review articles (as well as groups of articles in "special sections") which address:

    1. What is happening in terms of policies, reforms, regulation etc. of health systems;
    2. Where the ideas are coming from, i.e. whether they are "imported" from another country or developed within the country, and how innovative they are they in comparison to other countries;
    3. Why it is happening, e.g. as a consequence of a change in government, popular dissatisfaction or (perceived) unsustainable cost increases, and what are the objectives;
    4. The actors involved (both governmental as well as non-governmental), incl. their roles, their opinions and their strength in the decision and implementation process;
    5. Intended and, especially, unintended effects of these policies or reforms on the health system in terms of access, appropriateness, costs, effectiveness, quality, patient experience and equity etc.;
    6. Their final consequences in terms of health outcomes, financial protection and responsiveness to the population's legitimate expectations, i.e. a performance assessment of reforms and health systems.

  90. Health Systems and Reform

    Health Systems and Reform

    Dedicated to bridging research, theory and analysis with knowledge and experience in health systems and reform, and aims at becoming a global platform for sharing positive and normative lessons in this field. Most health systems around the world are at various stages of reform cycles.
     
    Aging, chronic diseases, persistent infectious diseases, and new healthcare technologies are among mounting challenges that require innovative and cost-effective approaches to healthcare delivery and reform. On the other hand, there is no international journal that is dedicated to catalyzing cross-national knowledge transfer and translation in health systems and reform. HS&R will fill this gap.
    HS&R strives to become the journal of excellence and reference in health systems and reform. The journal’s mission is to create a global platform for sharing cutting edge knowledge, skills, and lessons in health systems and reform and to provide answers that matter for leaders, professionals, and students looking for research, data, information, with a focus on lessons for health systems and reform. Most importantly, HS&R will contribute to strengthening health systems and to improving care delivered to patients.

    Each issue of HS&R will include cutting-edge research articles and commentaries addressing critical topics in health systems financing, health systems management, public health, health policy, and health economics.
