The Latest Research, Commentary, And News From Health Affairs

Tuesday, December 14, 2021

Dear John,

As readers of

**Health Affairs Today**, you regularly receive insights and updates
through our

**Health Affairs Blog**. We have exciting news to share that we are
rebranding

**Health Affairs Blog** to

**Health Affairs Forefront**.

Welcome to Health Affairs Forefront

**Read**

**Health Affairs Forefront**

Fifteen years ago,

**Health Affairs**created

**Health Affairs Blog**as a new avenue to move beyond 4,000-word
research papers into a then up-and-coming digital publishing
environment. At the onset, the

**Health Affairs Blog** mission and purpose was to publish thoughtful,
focused comments on topics that scan the health policy horizon, all in
500 to 1,000 words.

Today, we are excited to share with you that

**Health Affairs** is rebranding our blog to

**Health Affairs Forefront.**
The name change reflects what the blog has become over its evolution: a
heavily cited, rigorously reviewed, and prolific digital publication.

Just this year, for example, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
(CMS) Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure and colleagues published
their roadmap for innovation at the agency
.
Georgetown University's Katie Keith and others have published 73
articles as part of our prompt, comprehensive coverage by the Following
the ACA series .

**Forefront**has become a daily destination for health policy
professionals and the health care industry to catch up on the ideas that
thought leaders and peers are exploring in the field. We want our
publication to reflect that reality and highlight that prestige for both
the authors and readers.

The mission of

**Health Affairs Forefront** will stay the same:

**Create a space for rigorous, action-oriented insights related to
health policy research, ideas, and current policy events.**

Read the First Forefront Article from Editor-in-Chief Alan Weil

No changes will be made to the publication's content, but expect a
change in that content's presentation.

**Forefront**will still publish multiple impactful and timely articles
and research weekly.

**Forefront**will continue to be a place where government officials
announce new initiatives, future policy ideas are vetted, and thought
leaders provide up-to-date and curated analyses on the leading edge of
health policy.

Forefront will always give readers a seat at the table for the important
discussions on health policy reform. We've also listened to the health
policy community's requests and feedback about citing the publication
and plan to incorporate ways to make

**Forefront**more easily discoverable, citable, and linkable.

All articles will be deposited into CrossRef.

**Health Affairs Forefront** will now be indexed in Google Scholar in
addition to Google and Google News.

We are excited about this next phase of evolution of content for the
health policy community. In addition to ensuring that our articles are
high-quality and timely, we've been busy producing podcasts
and free virtual events
.

Thanks for your support, and we hope you join us on this journey.

Alan Weil's article
