FAQs

FAQs

Who within my organization should subscribe to the Journal?
CEOs of health care organizations, quality improvement and performance improvement professionals, medical directors, nursing administrators, and medical librarians in hospitals, hospital systems, integrated delivery systems, ambulatory settings, long term care settings, and behavioral care settings, and other settings. Consultants, payers, purchasers, health policy makers, health professions educators, health services researchers, utilization review directors, risk management directors—virtually anyone with an interest in or responsibility for quality and safety.

 

How does the Journal differ from the many other periodicals on quality of care and quality improvement?
The Journal was the first publication of its kind to offer the kind of detailed reports on quality improvement methods that professionals need if they are to be able to really learn how to apply those methods to their own settings. It publishes monthly, which allows for consistent coverage of quality and safety, and is peer reviewed, which means that papers are thoroughly screened by members of the Editorial Advisory Board and/or other experts to fulfill readers' needs for authoritative, credible, and useful information. And it covers a wide range of topics, unlike many newsletters that focus only on single topics, such as disease management or practice guidelines.

 

How often does the Journal publish?
Monthly.

 

How do I place an ad in the Journal?
Contact Elsevier Marketing directly at https://www.elsmediakits.com/

 

Can I submit articles?
Yes. See the "Submission Guidelines" section.

 

Who writes articles for the Journal?
The Journal receives submissions, occasionally by invitation, from a quality and safety community as diverse as its readership. Articles come from a wide variety of practitioners, quality and safety specialists, administrators, consultants, and researchers, usually because of their interest in describing their own experiences with quality and safety initiatives and methods and in reporting their own perspectives. Articles are welcome from not only the United States but the entire world.

 

How long does it take for a paper to be accepted and published?
This varies with the topic and quality of the paper and the number of papers in the pipeline, but for most papers it takes 4-8 months to be accepted and another 6-9 months to be published. Short papers considered for a department will receive expedited treatment.

 

Does the Journal represent the official views of the Joint Commission or Joint Commission Resources?
Unlike Joint Commission Perspectives, "the official newsletter of The Joint Commission," the Journal is a forum for the entire quality and safety community. Articles may on occasion express views that diverge from Joint Commission policies and standards. Yet the Journal does address the mission of JCR and the Joint Commission.
