Aims & Scope

The Asia Pacific Journal of Health Management (APJHM) is a peer-reviewed journal for managers of organisations offering healthcare and aged care services. The APJHM aims to promote the discipline of health management throughout the region by facilitating the transfer of knowledge among readers by widening the evidence base for management practices. The target audience is professionals with an interest in health and aged care services, research, management and policy development. The mission of the APJHM is to advance understanding of the management of health and aged care service organisations within the Asia Pacific region through the publication of empirical research, theoretical and conceptual developments and analysis and discussion of current management practices. The APJHM aims to strengthen knowledge exchange and support better decision-making in healthcare organisations through empirical research and policy discussion. Its broad scope reflects ongoing priorities in healthcare reform, patient-centred care, digital transformation, and workforce capability development across Australia and the wider Asia-Pacific region.
