"This is a critical time for the U.S. health care system," said
Dr. Jha. "The need for thoughtful, high-quality empirical work to
guide us has never been greater. Health Care will combine
data-driven evaluations of current efforts with insightful
commentary from the most innovative thinkers in the U.S. We
aim to make it an important force for fresh ideas on how to improve
the healthcare delivery system."
Founders of the journal and co-Editors-in-Chief are Amol Navathe, MD, PhD, a physician at the

are advancing at an incredible pace. Physicians and other
members of the health care team need help in translating these
changes in health care delivery into broader practice. This new
