Preferred term

origins of health services research  

Definition

  • Healthcare providers, public health officials, and others were examining access, cost, quality, and the outcomes of healthcare long before the term Health services research (HSR) was coined. While many countries and cultures have been grappling with issues concerning the efficacy and efficiency of healthcare delivery and medical outcomes for centuries, the United States has a particularly rich history in this subject.
