What Is Health Services Research?
Health services research is "the
multidisciplinary field of scientific investigation

organizational structures and processes, health
technologies, and personal behaviors affect access
to health care, the quality and cost of health care,
and ultimately our health and well-being. Its
research domains are individuals, families,
organizations, institutions, communities and
populations." (source).
