健康服务管理研究（HSMR）是一本具有权威性的国际同行评议期刊，发表理论和经验上严谨的研究，涉及全球各地医疗机构和系统关心的长期问题。通过研究卫生服务管理面临的真实问题，它提供了一种独立的观点和基于证据的前沿研究，以指导政策制定和管理决策。HSMR旨在成为一个为国际学术界和研究人员以及医疗管理者、高管、政策制定者、临床医生和所有卫生专业人员服务的论坛。HSMR希望在研究和管理实践方面做出实质性贡献，特别强调出版具有可操作性结果的研究，并促进知识动员以推进理论进展。所有论文预期都对国际读者具有吸引力和关联性。HSMR旨在加强在欧洲和所有发达卫生系统国家中涉及发展、实施和分析卫生管理问题、改革和创新的学者和从业人员之间的交流。论文可以报告在单个国家进行的研究，但需要将其发现放置在国际背景和国际文献中进行定位和解释。

Health Services Management Research (HSMR) is an authoritative international peer-reviewed journal which publishes theoretically and empirically rigorous research on questions of enduring interest to health-care organizations and systems throughout the world. Examining the real issues confronting health services management, it provides an independent view and cutting edge evidence-based research to guide policy-making and management decision-making. HSMR aims to be a forum serving an international community of academics and researchers on the one hand and healthcare managers, executives, policymakers and clinicians and all health professionals on the other. HSMR wants to make a substantial contribution to both research and managerial practice, with particular emphasis placed on publishing studies which offer actionable findings and on promoting knowledge mobilisation toward theoretical advances. All papers are expected to be of interest and relevance to an international audience. HSMR aims at enhance communication between academics and practitioners concerned with developing, implementing, and analysing health management issues, reforms and innovations primarily in European health systems and in all countries with developed health systems. Papers can report research undertaken in a single country, but they need to locate and explain their findings in an international context, and in international literature.
