Sub-Categories

The current articles in this category are under the Sub-Category Clinic Business Tips.

Purpose/Audience

Articles in this category are for people interested in creating a new integrated healthcare facility or enhancing an established center. Material is to offer helpful suggestions from those already experienced in these matters.

Article Content

For this category we are interested in articles that offer valuable, practical information related to appropriate aspects of developing and running an integrated healthcare center. Unique, cutting-edge material is preferred.

We request a warm, friendly style of writing. It is ideal when the information is presented in straightforward terms that the general lay public can understand. At the same time, the quality of the data should be of value to a health professional. Brief articles have a better chance of being read online. We recommend a maximum of about 800 words, but do not limit the length of submittals.

The material in the article does not have to be original. The author may adapt material he/she has published elsewhere, such as in a book, magazine or newsletter. When submitted to AHHA, it is important to identify the original source so that this can be acknowledged at the end of the article; and indicate that permission has been granted by the publisher or whomever holds the copyright.

Related Resources

To further support those creating a healing center – each author is invited to add a list of resources he/she found helpful. Authors are encouraged to include themselves or their organization on this list, if appropriate.

Author

Authors must have the education, training, and/or experience to be viewed as a credible expert on the material presented.

Author Bio

Each online article is accompanied by a brief promotional piece about the author. This mini-bio paragraph shows why that person has the authority to speak on the subject at hand. Promotional mention of the author’s publications, workshops, professional organizations,
connections, etc., is encouraged. Be sure to include a phone number and an email address or website link so that interested readers can contact the author. Please limit this author mini-bio paragraph to 100 words or less.

Photo

We need a color or black and white head/shoulder shot of the author.

Title

Author is encouraged to create a title for the article that is innovative and reflective of the content. Best not to try being too clever. Clarity is best.

Miscellaneous

In the interest of fairness and equal opportunity, each author is limited to one article per category in the AHHA Self-Help Article Collection. The guidelines you are reviewing are for the category Tips for Developing Integrated Healing Centers.

Submitted articles are reviewed for appropriateness of content for the AHHA article category and appropriateness of author to offer the information included.

AHHA is a volunteer association that provides AHHA materials to the general public free of charge. AHHA does not provide any remuneration to the authors of articles, though authors do gain the benefit of the promotional exposure through the promotional paragraph accompanying each article. (The AHHA website averages almost 3,500 visitors a week, and one article from the AHHA Self-Help Articles Collection is featured on the site’s home page each week, plus in our blog and on our Facebook and Twitter pages.)

AHHA covers the cost for a professional editor who reviews each article and suggests revisions to polish the presentation. The author has final say as to whether or not these changes are incorporated. A submitted article will be fully formatted for final approval by the author BEFORE being released for public access.
