Dear Colleagues, 

The objective of this Special Issue is to assemble research and scholarly works that contribute to the theoretical and empirical knowledge base for identifying population health management research on diabetes and other related chronic conditions that will improve the performance of service organizations and enhance the well-being of communities. The specific aims of this issue are to:

• Explicate an interdisciplinary focus in care management and improvement research.
• Establish a close collaboration and partnership with the service sector that will enhance the development of innovative research.
• Transform knowledge developed from interdisciplinary research, pertaining to Information Technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI), to evidence-based care management and practice. 

The integration of the principles and methodological approaches of diverse disciplines in conducting scientific studies may lead to the creation of evidence-based knowledge for improving diabetes care and to enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of health service organizations. This Special Issue will bring together leading managerial epidemiologists and practitioners to share their scholarship and strategic agenda for resolving the most urgent care management issues of our time.  The call for papers invites scholars and researchers to address best-practice solutions for perfecting community and national proactive responses for health service and population health management issues.
