Informed by discussant interviews, AcademyHealth and NORC collaborators highlight the themes in successful state-based maternal health data linkage initiatives, gaps in implementing such initiatives, and the status of current data linkages to address maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity.
Research into the way health systems function and affect communities should make a meaningful impact on the lives of the people and places studied. A new paper, commissioned by AcademyHealth’s Paradigm Project, offers new strategies to increase the societal impact that health researchers can have on the communities they study.
Voices of a New Paradigm: The AcademyHealth Paradigm Project is profiling leaders whose work helps point Health Services Research in a new direction. Some are new to HSR, others may just be new to us – leaders in other fields whose work is inspiring or applicable. All are challenging the limits of the current paradigm in ways that help make HSR more effective and have greater impact.
February’s edition of the Blueprint includes an update on the upcoming Paradigm Project expert meetings, articles to improve the methodology, impact, and timeliness of health services research, and resources on diversity, equity, and inclusion.
In a members-only, interactive Zoom discussion, Dr. Elizabeth Yano discussed how to navigate the challenges embedded researchers encounter in a real-life health system setting.
