CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue on Innovations in Primary Health Care in Latin America and the Caribbean

 

General guidelines for submission to the journal are available at http://www.ambulatorycaremanagement.com/pt/re/jacm/authorinfo.htm

The Journal of Ambulatory Care Management is a PEER-REVIEWED journal that provides timely, applied information on the most important developments and issues in ambulatory care management. http://www.ambulatorycaremanagement.com/

Over the past few decades, there have been considerable developments in the way primary health care has been organized, financed, managed, and delivered throughout the Americas. Such innovations have ranged from programs designed to provide universal access, approaches to contracting for primary care service delivery, means of integrating primary care with other social services, human resources and information technology development, and scaling up of models of chronic disease management, to name only a few.

Authors describing original research assessing primary health care organization, financing, management, and delivery in the region of Latin America and the Caribbean are invited to submit their work. We are particularly interested in impact evaluations, demonstrations of best practices, and policy analyses, but will consider other themes. All manuscripts should be submitted in English.

SUBMISSION DATES AND DEADLINES: Authors should email a structured abstract (up to 350 words and including introduction, methods, results, conclusions) no later than June 1, 2008.

 

The editors will then be in contact with authors upon review of the abstract. Full manuscripts will be solicited from among those authors who have submitted abstracts. The deadline for submitting completed manuscripts is September 1, 2008.

 

For more information or to answer any questions, authors should feel free to contact guest editor, James Macinko  or journal editor, Norbert Goldfield
