Editors of World’s Most Prestigious Medical Journals…Speak?

Beware the Faux Medical Journals

When is a “Journal” … not a Journal?
By Dr. David Edward Marcinko; MBA, CMP™
Publisher-in-Chief
Allow me to begin this post by making the unusual disclosure that I was the Editor-in-Chief of a print guide in healthcare finance and economics [aka periodical or journal].
Formally, the title was: Healthcare Organizations [Financial Management Strategies]. At 2 volumes, and more than 1,200 pages, it was quite a job to update it quarterly. And, with more than two dozen contributing authors, it was a labor of love indeed. Alas … no more!
Varying Levels of Credibility
Now, we doctors know that medical journals are not all alike. There are different levels of “credibility.” Some are peer-reviewed, others not. Some are trade magazines. Frankly, some “real” journals are better, and more respected than others. Some entrenched journals are in decline, while other emerging journals are leading-edge in the health 2.0 space. Still others, like the formerly esteemed Journal of the American Medical Association [JAMA], have been accused of outright censorship.

Adventures
Of course, doctors also know that pharmaceutical companies routinely offer us reprints of articles from medical journals that are favorable to their products. But, news of a Merck-sponsored publication for doctors in Australia has come to light in a personal injury lawsuit over Vioxx. It raised more than a few eyebrows in international medical publishing circles. It may have even crossed the line of journalistic, not to mention medical, ethics.

About: Healthcare Organizations [Financial Management Strategies]
Posted on April 11, 2009 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™
Our Print Mission Statement
[By Dr. David Edward Marcinko; MBA, CMP™]
Publisher-in-Chief
As Editor-in-Chief of a two volume – 1,200 pages – premium quarterly print journal, I am often asked about our mission statement; or the journal’s raison d’etra.
A Two-Volume Guide
As so, Healthcare Organizations: [Financial Management Strategies], with its quarterly updates, will promote and integrate academic and applied research, and serve as a multi-disciplined communications forum for the dissemination of financial, managerial, business and related economic information to decision makers in hospitals, outpatient centers, clinics, medical practices and all mature and emerging healthcare organizations.
Target Market and Ideal Reader
Healthcare Organizations [Financial Management Strategies] and its quarterly updates should be in the hands of all:
* CFOs, CEOs, COOs, CTOs, VPs and CIOs from every type of hospital and healthcare organization including: public, federal, state, Veteran’s Administration and Indian Health Services hospitals; district, rural, long-term care and community hospitals; specialty, children’s and rehabilitation hospitals; diagnostic imaging centers and laboratories; private, religious-sponsored, and psychiatric institutions.
* Physician Hospital Organizations, Management Services Organizations (MSOs), Independent Practice Associations (IPAs), Group Practices Without Walls (GPWWs), Integrated Delivery Systems (IDSs) and their administrators, comptrollers, cost accountants, budget directors, cash managers, auditors, healthcare attorneys and consultants, and actuaries, and all endowment fund directors, executives, consultants and strategic financial managers.
* Ambulatory care centers, hospices, and outpatient clinics; skilled nursing facilities, integrated networks and group practices; academic medical centers, nurses and physician executives; business school and health administration students, and all economic decision-makers and directors of allopathic, dental, podiatric and osteopathic healthcare organizations.
Assessment
After publication, my suggestion is to read, study and act upon the guide in this way:
1. First, browse through the entire text.
2. Next, slowly read those chapters and sections that are of specific interest to your professional efforts.
3. Then, extrapolate portions that can be implemented in specific strategies helpful to your healthcare setting.
4. Finally, use its’ ME-P updates as a reference manual to return to time and time again; and enjoy!
