About the Journal

_{Annals of Healthcare Management and Social Sciences (AHMSS) is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal that serves as a premier forum for research at the intersection of healthcare systems, core management sciences, and foundational social sciences. The journal aims to develop high-quality research that translates theories and methods from disciplines such as strategic management, organizational behavior, sociology, psychology, economics, and public policy into innovative, evidence-based solutions for the most pressing challenges in health and social wellbeing. We are dedicated to publishing work that not only advances scholarly understanding but also directly informs superior managerial practice, effective policy innovation, and equitable health outcomes.}

_{Aim and Scope} 

_{The scope of AHMSS is uniquely positioned at the confluence of three fields: Healthcare, Management Sciences, and Social Sciences. The journal provides a platform for research that examines health systems, organizations, and policies through these interconnected lenses. We welcome contributions that apply the rigorous theories and analytical methods of management and social sciences to health-related contexts, as well as studies from health services research that generate insights capable of advancing core management and social science theory.}

_{The journal strives to enhance evidence-based management, policy, and practice to improve the effectiveness, equity, resilience, and sustainability of healthcare systems worldwide. It provides a scholarly forum for researchers, practitioners, and policy leaders to share transformative ideas.}
