Information Page

Advances in Health Care Management (AHCM) is a biannual research publication; contributions are double blind reviewed and are indexed by MEDLINE.  Each year, the series produces a volume that reviews the state-of-the-art in health care management (HCM) and a research volume on a special topic in the field.

Domain

As conceived by the founding editors, John D. Blair, Myron D. Fottler, and Grant T. Savage, the series provides a forum for leading research on health care management.  The yearly volume devoted to the state-of-the-art in HCM comprises review papers, while the volume on a specific topic is devoted to empirical research studies of interest to scholars and practitioners.  AHCM publishes research on all types of health care service and health care-related organizations, so long as it focuses on research questions of interest to the broad discipline of management.  We invite interested scholars to contact any of the editors listed below to propose themed volumes and to serve as guest editors.

Previous volumes

AHCM began as a research annual, first publishing in 2000.  

• Volumes 1 – 3 offer reviews of the field, research on selected topics, and best papers from the HCM Division of the Academy of Management. 
• In contrast, volumes 4 – 7 focus on a range of special topics, including bioterrorism, international HCM, entrepreneurship, and patient safety.  
• Volume 8 is the inaugural volume for the state-of-the-art review of HCM research. 
• Volume 9, explores human resource management issues within health care organizations, with a special focus on nursing and health professional shortages. 
• Beginning in 2011 with volumes 10 and 11, AHCM became a biannual publication.  Volume 10 focuses on strategies and research related to organization development in health care.  Volume 11 is the second volume in the series to review the state-of-the-art in HCM research.
