Definition(s)
- Health services research, according to the Association for Health Services Research, is defined as “a field of inquiry using quantitative or qualitative methodology to examine the impact of the organization, financing and management of health services on the access to, delivery, cost, outcomes and quality of services.” Like biomedical research, health services research is conducted by university-affiliated researchers, policy research organizations, and health care providers, particularly managed care companies, that want to examine things such as technology assessment. Such assessments can help determine if new treatment is more effective or less expensive than an older procedure. [Source: Health Care Policy and Politics A to Z; Health Services Research]
