The International Journal of Health Care Finance and Economics deals with the problems of financing a health care system and financing’s impact on health care performance. It examines why people choose alternative arrangements, either in markets or through the political process. In addition, it demonstrates the link between financing of health care and methods of payment for health care and, in turn, the link between payment and the supply decisions of health care providers.The journal focuses on contributions that integrate theoretical and empirical work, evaluate conflicting findings, or compare experiences among countries and jurisdictions. Papers analyze the behavior and interaction of consumers, providers, insurers, and governments under the influence of health care finance and regulation.
Officially cited as: Int J Health Care Finance Econ
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 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 them, and who should pay for them. Innovators, providers, and payers in the public and private sectors are faced with these questions every day. 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.
