APOLOGIES for CROSSPOSTING
IRSPM Special Interest Group in Healthcare Management (SIG-HCM)
Aim: To contribute to the development of the Public Management paradigm with recursive knowledge feedback among the general public management knowledge base and those within healthcare management disciplines. While we appreciate distinct contributions from healthcare management, the aim of the IRSPM and the SIG-HCM is to explicitly contribute to the public management endeavor.
We value contributions that:
Study health care contexts and provide insight, description, and empirical, findings for Public Management
Study public organizations and provide insight, description, and empirical, findings for Healthcare Management
Take advantage of areas of overlap among the other IRSPM SIGs to find new ways to collaborate and contribute across intellectual subfields in the discipline
Our working definition of the Public Management paradigm centers on the resources, processes, operations, and outcomes of public organizations and those organizations with a high degrees of "publicness". In particular, issues of workforce, organization design and development, governance, performance, and capacity to serve are topics of great salience to the paradigm. The main challenge within the paradigm is to understand how organizations with a high degree of publicness operate and effectively (or not) fulfill their individual and public missions.
Our goals for the SIG-HCM are:
Create a productive and high quality environment for healthcare focused work at IRSPM
Cross-fertilization of ideas between Public Management and Healthcare Management
Create a sufficiently developmental atmosphere for scholars where they can present their work and receive constructive critique for further refinement
Attract top scholars in the field to participate in SIG-HCM activities
Attract young researchers to the empirical setting of health care for their work
Through quality scholarship, improve the visibility and reputation of SIG-HCM and IRSPM
As such, our short-term operational goals are:
Set a high bar for conference paper selection of at most 50% of submissions
Provide developmental feedback to authors during sessions so that 10% of papers presented at the Annual conference are targeted for publication in the top public management journals in the field such as: Public Management Review, Public Administration Review, International Public Management Journal, and Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory.
