In December 2013, The American Journal of Managed Care (AJMC) introduced a new publication, The American Journal of Accountable Care (AJAC), devoted to covering the nation's transition from a free-for-service payment delivery model to a paymentfor quality model. Reaching more than 40,000 healthcare professionals 4 times a year, AJAC is a stakeholder-driven publication keenly focused on healthcare reform, and, in turn, new practices required by the transition to new payment models tied to measures of healthcare quality.
Founded in 1995, The American Journal of Managed Care is a peer-reviewed, MedLine indexed journal dedicated to publishing original healthcare outcomes research. AJMC's mission is to publish research that is relevant to clinical and policy decision makers as they work to promote the efficient delivery of high-quality care. It is an acknowledged leader in the growing managed care space, and the publication's influence is seen in the frequency with which authors and their articles are referenced in national media outlets and other scientific publications.
