The focus of the International Journal of Health Economics and Management is on health care systems and on the behavior of consumers, patients, and providers of such services. The links among management, public policy, payment, and performance are core topics of the relaunched journal. The demand for health care and its cost remain central concerns. Even as medical innovation allows providers to improve the lives of their patients, questions remain about how to efficiently deliver health care services, how to pay for it, and who should pay for it. These are central questions facing innovators, providers, and payers in the public and private sectors. One key to answering these questions is to understand how people choose among alternative arrangements, either in markets or through the political process. 

The choices made by healthcare managers concerning the organization and production of that care are also crucial. There is an important connection between the management of a health care system and its economic performance. The primary audience for this journal will be health economists and researchers in health management, along with the larger group of health services researchers. In addition, research and policy analysis reported in the journal should be of interest to health care providers, managers and policymakers, who need to know about the pressures facing insurers and governments, with consequences for regulation and mandates. The editors of the journal encourage submissions that analyze the behavior and interaction of the actors in health care, viz. consumers, providers, insurers, and governments. Preference will be given to contributions that combine theoretical with empirical work, evaluate conflicting findings, present new information, or compare experiences between countries and jurisdictions. In addition to conventional research articles, the journal will include specific subsections for shorter concise research findings and cont ributions to management and policy that provide important descriptive data or arguments about what policies follow from research findings. 

《国际卫生经济与管理杂志》的重点是医疗保健系统以及消费者、患者和此类服务提供者的行为。管理、公共政策、支付和绩效之间的联系是重新出版的杂志的核心主题。对医疗保健的需求及其成本仍然是主要关注点。即使医疗创新允许提供者改善患者的生活，但如何有效地提供医疗保健服务、如何支付以及谁应该支付的问题仍然存在。这些是公共和私营部门的创新者、提供者和付款人面临的核心问题。回答这些问题的一个关键是了解人们如何在市场或政治过程中选择替代安排。医疗保健管理人员就组织和生产该护理所做的选择也至关重要。医疗保健系统的管理与其经济绩效之间存在重要联系。

本期刊的主要读者将是卫生经济学家和卫生管理研究人员，以及更大的卫生服务研究人员群体。此外，期刊中报道的研究和政策分析应该引起医疗保健提供者、管理人员和政策制定者的兴趣，他们需要了解保险公司和政府面临的压力，以及对监管和授权的影响。期刊编辑鼓励投稿分析医疗保健参与者（即消费者、提供者、保险公司和政府）的行为和互动。期刊将优先考虑将理论与实证工作相结合、评估相互矛盾的发现、提供新信息或比较不同国家和司法管辖区经验的投稿。除了传统的研究文章外，期刊还将包括特定小节，用于简短简明的研究结果以及管理和政策方面的贡献，这些贡献提供了重要的描述性数据或关于研究结果所遵循的政策的论据。编辑委员会的组成旨在涵盖经济学和管理学研究人员的兴趣范围。
