Health Affairs congratulates our founding editor, John K. Iglehart, on being named the 2016 recipient of the William B. Graham Prize for Health Services Research. The Prize, awarded by The Baxter International Foundation and the Association of University Programs in Health Administration (AUPHA), will be presented on Thursday, June 23, 2016, during the AUPHA Annual Meeting in Kansas City, Missouri.
Since 1986, the award has recognized "the contributions of health services researchers who have had a significant impact on the health of the public in one of three primary focus areas: health services management, health policy development, and healthcare delivery. The contributions of Mr. Iglehart reflect all three of these areas," Baxter and AUPHA say in announcing the award.
Douglas Conrad, Professor of Health Services at the University of Washington Seattle and Graham Prize selection committee chair, notes that through his work as founding editor of Health Affairs, national correspondent for The New England Journal of Medicine, and an elected member of the National Academy of Social Insurance and the Institute of Medicine, Iglehart "has shaped the discussion of public policy in healthcare and influenced a generation of scholars in health services research."
Iglehart states:
Acknowledging the previous awardees of the William B. Graham Prize—all national and international scholars of stature—I am truly humbled as the first journalist named as recipient of this honor. In turn, and importantly, it recognizes Health Affairs — the health policy journal that I founded 35 years ago. It has been very satisfying to see the journal well-established as a serious peer-reviewed publication recognized by academic researchers who seek to spread their work to policymakers, healthcare managers, providers, and many others who are invested in improving America's healthcare enterprise.
