Why Publish in Healthcare?
The journal aims to provide practice and policy-relevant insights to leaders. An important feature of publishing in Health Care: The Journal of Delivery Science and Innovation is the strength of the Journal’s editorial board, and their commitment to specifically distribute articles from the Journal to decision-makers and health care leaders across the country. These will include targeted communications to government officials, political leaders, health system and payer executives, and think tanks. The goal of publication is not merely to disseminate findings, but to support the translation of first-rate delivery innovation into practice and build a disciplinary home for the science of health care delivery and innovation.
Speed to Review and Decision
Health Care: The Journal of Delivery Science and Innovation recognizes many of the challenges to publication: long and repetitive review cycles, infrequent communication with journals, and delays in publication. We are committed to being author-centered in our approach. Authors can expect that we will rapidly review and expeditiously make publication decisions. When the release of findings is time-sensitive, authors can request an expedited review.
