Journal of Medical Economics aims to help translate research advances into patient care and lead in transparency/disclosure. The journal publishes high-quality economic assessments of novel therapeutic and device interventions for an international audience. Journal of Medical Economics also specializes in the publication of studies that determine the effectiveness of medical treatment, involving measurements of therapeutic and/or preventative outcomes.
