Write for The Healthcare Executive
Contributor guidelines for healthcare leaders and researchers who want to publish with us.
We publish work that helps hospital and health-system leaders make better decisions. We welcome proposals from executives, clinicians in leadership roles, researchers and graduate students in healthcare administration.
What we publish
- Management Atlas reviews: evidence-based narrative reviews that translate peer-reviewed research into executive practice.
- Executive Spotlight features: research or programs that other leaders can learn from.
- Perspectives: a practitioner’s account of a decision, what informed it and what happened.
What we look for
- A clear question an executive team is facing, stated at the start.
- Peer-reviewed or primary sources for every factual claim, cited in full.
- Practical implications: what a leader should do, measure or ask next.
- Original work that has not been published elsewhere.
- No promotion of products, services or vendors.
How to propose
Send a short proposal: the working title, the question, three to five key sources and a few lines about you. Submit a proposal. If it fits, we will agree on scope, length and timing before you write.
Every article is reviewed and edited before publication, and authors approve the final version.
