Mecosan

Aims & Scope

Mecosan is the premier quarterly journal in Italy in the field of healthcare management.

Its mission is to improve the understanding of how healthcare organizations and systems function and to promote the diffusion of good managerial practices at all levels.

In order to pursue its mission, the journal draws together and learns from different academic disciplines (economics, statistics, medicine, sociology and law), although its conceptual roots are firmly grounded in the Italian approach to managerial studies.

Considering the role of the public sector in healthcare systems, public management and administration research is a relevant basis for contributions.

Mecosan aims at providing a forum for sharing the results of rigorous and relevant research, case studies and practical experiences in healthcare so that managerial practices can be influenced and improved.

The target audience includes academics, researchers, consultants and practitioners.
