It has been a fantastic opportunity to be the editor for this journal over the last decade. I have very much enjoyed being exposed to the broad range of health services and policy research papers that have been submitted to the journal - more than 1,000 manuscripts that reflect a diverse set of questions, approaches, contributors and conclusions. The articles in this issue exemplify that diversity. Some themes continue to resonate strongly: health human resources, primary healthcare, and healthcare financing have been important topics since the journal was founded, for instance. But there have been changes too. Some topics - such as medical assistance in dying - have emerged as central questions in healthcare policy. We now see more research being undertaken with patients and communities. And the ratio of qualitative and mixed-methods research to quantitative analysis has risen.
在过去十年里担任本期刊的编辑是一次绝佳的机会。我非常享受接触提交至该期刊的广泛的卫生服务与政策研究论文——超过1000篇稿件，它们反映了各种各样的问题、方法、作者及结论。本期的文章便是这种多样性的例证。一些主题持续引发强烈共鸣：例如，自该期刊创办以来，卫生人力资源、初级卫生保健及医疗融资一直都是重要话题。但也有一些变化。一些主题——比如安乐死医疗协助——已成为医疗政策的核心问题。我们现在看到更多针对患者和社区开展的研究。而且定性和混合方法研究与定量分析的比例有所上升。
