Health Services and Clinical Outcomes Research

The essence of Health Services Research is to examine how the population interacts with the healthcare system. Health Services Research is used to inform how healthcare is delivered, including changes to clinical practice and policy, to ensure the best outcomes for patients and the healthcare system.

Outcomes Research focuses on asking and answering questions about the effectiveness of health interventions and health services for individual patients. For more information about Outcomes Research, please visit https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12603584/
