Overview

Health Services Research Methods, 3rd Edition enables future administrators to measure structure, process, and outcome variables and leverage that information to improve efficiency and equity in health services. Starting with the fundamentals, content follows a systematic approach for conducting research, including how to identify, measure and evaluate issues in health care settings. Chapters also address how to design research studies, choose the appropriate sample, collect data, conduct statistical analysis, and apply findings. Newly updated, expanded content in this edition offers the latest insights on social epidemiology, ethics, evidence-based medicine and the effects of HIPAA on health services research. New frameworks, examples, and end-of-chapter review questions round out content and give students practice developing both classic and contemporary skills.
