Definición

  • Health services research can be defined as the multidisciplinary field of investigation that studies how social factors, financing systems, organizational structures and processes, health technologies, and personal behaviors affect access to healthcare, the costs and quality of healthcare, and, ultimately, the outcomes of healthcare. Health services research often attempts to influence health policy and the practice of medicine through the analysis of large databases.
