Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc. Health Care Management Review Author Guide Purpose of the Journal Health Care Management Review publishes papers that apply theoretical frameworks and principles to health services management. Articles should address questions that are timely, interest researchers and management practitioners, inform future research, and affect how health services organizations are managed. Both conceptual papers and those reporting on empirical research should be grounded in a theoretical framework or grow out of empirical research. This requires a thorough literature review. The paper s contribution should be made clear, as should the importance of this new knowledge. The implications for management and research should be addressed. A case study can be an appropriate method to advance knowledge on a topic. However, for a case study to become of interest to managers and researchers beyond the members of the affected organization, it should meet the same criteria as manuscripts that report on other types of research. The journal addresses both a practitioner and academic audience. This means that careful attention should be paid to conceptual, and for empirical research, methodological adequacy as well as management relevance. Manuscript Submission Each issue may be comprised of both solicited and unsolicited manuscripts. Solicited articles: One original and three copies of solicited manuscripts are required. Address manuscripts and correspondence regarding publications to Barbara Miller, 1111 Bethlehem Pike, P.O. Box 908, Springhouse, PA 19477, 215-646-8700, ext. 7789, E-mail: bmiller@lww.com. Unsolicited articles: Authors are encouraged to submit original articles that add new knowledge to the field of health services administration and further research. The decision to accept or reject an article will be made by the editors and will be guided by the judgment of two blind referees. One original and three copies of unsolicited manuscripts are required. Address manuscripts and correspondence to Barbara Miller, 1111 Bethlehem Pike, P.O.
