Vision, mission, goals

We can write a lot now. We are independent, serve responsible citizens and are of course obliged to the highest level of professionalism and that we also and quite naturally want to promote democratic societies based on liberal and social principles. This is all important and important. But we at “Monitor Health Services Research” think more pragmatically: We want to ensure, free from any influences and suggestions of any kind, that health services research develops into a health services research science - for the benefit of all patients. The fact that this is not easy is due to the context. That's why "Monitor Health Services Research" wants to create a link between health services research, health care management, science and politics, in which health services researchers exchange ideas on a scientific level, but in which, in the editorial area, all those who approach the topic of health services research more as users or as commissioners are addressed – whether on the cash, political or industrial side. Oh yes: Since 2015, all articles have been published “open access” and free of charge. Both our publishing behavior and our ethics are based on the “Code of Conduct for Journal Editors” and the guidelines of the German Association of Magazine Publishers (VDZ).
