Health Systems
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.
