The American Journal of Managed Care (AJMC) is an independent, peer-reviewed forum for the dissemination of research relating to clinical, economic, and policy aspects of financing and delivering healthcare. The Journal's mission is to publish original research relevant to clinical decision makers and policy makers as they work to promote the efficient delivery of high quality care. AJMC's circulation is approximately 52,300. This includes academic institutions as well as individuals with important decision-making responsibility such as physicians, pharmacy and therapeutics committee members, medical directors, and other healthcare professionals. The editorial staff classifies original research articles into 4 categories:
Manuscripts in the Managerial category address the clinical or economic impact associated with interventions implemented by clinicians or health plans to alter the care delivery process. These include a wide range of studies such as those examining the influence of changes in benefit design, referral rules, formulary requirements, reimbursement policy, and disease management programs on the quality and cost of care. Studies may report empirical results or provide conceptual analyses of issues relevant to managerial interventions or health plan design. Policy articles address the influence of the regulatory environment on the quality, delivery, and financing of healthcare. These include articles about regulation of pharmaceutical advertising, FDA behavior, or regulation of insurance markets. Articles might also provide analysis of topics relevant to policy makers, such as the impact of managed care penetration on clinical or economic outcomes at the market level. The Clinical category includes manuscripts that examine the health and/or economic impact of specific medical interventions. The merit of clinical manuscripts is judged on the significance of the clinical question, the strength of the study design, and the potential impact of the results on clinicians' practice or health plan policies. We encourage the submission of studies that use other established methodologies, such as observational studies, decision analysis, and meta-analysis. The Methods category includes papers that introduce innovative methodological approaches or describe advances to existing health services research techniques. We expect submissions in this area to report on topics such as quality of life assessment, risk adjustment methods, or approaches to measure health plan quality. Advances in quantifying resource utilization, such as accounting for lost worker productivity, would also be welcome.
