HSR Resources & Methods

A better alignment in the goals of the biomedical research enterprise and the health care delivery system can help fill the large gaps in our knowledge of the impact of clinical interventions on patient outcomes in the real world.

AcademyHealth convened the Electronic Data Methods (EDM) Forum to collect, synthesize, and share lessons from eleven projects that are building infrastructure and using electronic clinical data for comparative effectiveness research (CER) and patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR). This paper provides a brief review of participating projects and provides a framework of common challenges.

This paper discusses cross-cutting challenges and opportunities for research projects participating in the Electronic Data Methods (EDM) Forum.

This report is an EDM Forum-authored paper.

This study is the first assessment of data and methods needs for the field of Public Health Systems Research.

The HSRProj (Health Services Research Projects) in Progress database contains descriptions on more than 13,000 ongoing and recently completed health services research projects funded by government and state agencies, foundations, universities, private organizations, and international organizations.
