The Intimate Connection Between Pay for Performance and Idealized Office Design Is Still in the Future

This issue of the Journal of Ambulatory Care Management has influenced me both on a personal and on a professional level. This issue of the journal clearly demonstrates that good care is possible-sometimes even for poor people. It highlights success stories of the path that must be taken. Further details can also be found in a timely message by Mark Holt from The Republic of Texas. In addition, Drs Nilsson and Melander add to our understanding of marketing issues surrounding certain pharmaceuticals in Europe. With Medicare Part D in place, the journal has an ongoing interest in papers pertaining to the use of pharmaceuticals in ambulatory care and in encouraging your submissions.
