Veterans Administration Health Services Research and Development Service Impacts 2002: Working to Improve Health Care for Veterans.

摘要

The Health Services Research & Development Service (HSR&D) is a program within the Veterans Health Administration's Office of Research and Development. HSR&D provides expertise in health services research, a field that examines the effects of organization, financing, and management on a wide range of problems in health care delivery - quality of care, access, cost, and patient outcomes. Its programs span the continuum of health care research and delivery, from basic research to the dissemination of research results, and ultimately to the application of these findings to clinical, managerial and policy decisions.
