| Course Description: |
This course is designed to increase the knowledge of each practitioner or clinician of health by providing a basic understanding of the types of investigations performed in health services research. Health services research (HSR) focuses on the study of populations rather than individuals. HSR is interdisciplinary to include biological and social factors. HSR is an applied research field. Most frequently, it is defined by its practical problem-solving and is determined not by the need to develop theory. Its priorities are established by societal questions and issues about health services. |
