First peer-reviewed, Open Access journal dedicated to research, theory, and analysis in health systems and health reform
关于我们
Health Systems & Reform (HS&R) is the leading peer-reviewed, Open Access journal dedicated to bridging research, theory, and analysis with knowledge and experience in this field. The world confronts mounting challenges — aging, chronic diseases, emerging and persistent infectious diseases, and high-cost healthcare technologies —that require innovative, equitable, and cost-effective approaches to healthcare delivery and reform. HS&R addresses these challenges as an international journal dedicated to catalyzing cross-national knowledge transfer and translation. The journal seeks to publish articles that share cutting-edge knowledge, skills, and lessons in health systems and reform. Most importantly, HS&R contributes to strengthening health systems and to improving care delivered to patients. Topics of articles and commentaries in HS&R include health systems financing, health systems management, public health, health policy, health politics, and health economics. The journal publishes articles that examine the processes and consequences of health reform efforts around the world. Research articles examine health reforms from national and cross-national perspectives, and include analysis and recommendations. The journal also includes commentaries from healthcare leaders—such as Ministers of Health, CEOs of healthcare companies, and heads of nonprofit organizations and international agencies— who share their experiences and policy lessons with a global audience. We encourage researchers, practitioners, and leaders in public health to submit their articles to Health Systems & Reform. Taylor & Francis and Health Systems & Reform are both committed to bringing research by scholars in emerging nations to the attention of the global academic community. Taylor & Francis offers support for Article Publishing Charges (APC) by way of discounts or available funds: authors may benefit from much reduced APCs or may publish Open Access at no cost to themselves.

How can countries make real progress toward Universal Health Coverage? In this editorial, Agnes Gatome-Munyua, Susan Powers Sparkes, Alexandra Earle, Joseph Kutzin and Nirmala Ravishankar introduce the special issue on objective-oriented health reforms across multiple countries. They share common themes from the 14 papers and summarize a research agenda to reveal lessons from countries as they implement objective-oriented reforms. Through cases from Argentina, India, Kenya, the Philippines, and beyond, it is clear there are no “magic bullet” solutions. To improve chances of success, countries should ensure objectives are problem-oriented, the actions proposed in the reform are consistent with a hypothesized theory of change and the reform is continuously evaluated and adapted.

Can a 19th?Century French Medical Debate Provide Guidance on How to Tackle Type 2 Diabetes?
