Editorial Guidelines
The Group Practice Journal has been meeting the business information needs of the medical industry for over 50 years with practical, timely articles about everything from negotiating successful managed care contracts to building integrated healthcare delivery systems, to implementing system-wide change. The Journal is the flagship publication of the American Medical Group Association—the national organization dedicated to addressing all issues affecting medical groups and other organized systems of care.
Specifically, the Group Practice Journal focuses on the socioeconomic, political, business, operational, and legal aspects of medical care provided by medical groups and other organized systems of care. Appropriate articles cover current issues and trends regarding healthcare legislation, management, joint ventures, medical liability, marketing, physician recruitment, compensation and productivity, legal aspects of delivery systems, tax/financial issues, quality management and outcomes, benchmarking and data analysis, recruitment and retention, communication, integrated delivery systems, and managed care.
Our readers are physician executives of all medical disciplines and senior-level administrators who lead medical groups ranging in size from three to over three-thousand physicians. Specifically, our readers are looking for practical information from their peers that they can apply to their own organizations—information that will help their organizations compete successfully in the business of healthcare delivery.
Articles should be original, exclusive to the Group Practice Journal, and keyed to current industry trends that are newsworthy. We do not accept product-oriented pieces. Articles should be engaging and reader-friendly. Use active sentences. Do not imbed references in the text. Just place the appropriate number in the text and then list the references at the end of the article. Provide a “Suggested Reading List” and sidebars as appropriate. Article length ranges from 1,500 to 2,000 words. The Group Practice Journal acquires all rights and pays with two copies of the issue in which the author’s article appears.
