This brief summarizes key points from a May 2021 meeting convened by AcademyHealth as part of the Paradigm Project to explore redesigning academic incentives to prioritize the social impact of health services research. The meeting underscored the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion -- among other factors -- in incentivizing research that has impact.
AcademyHealth Vice President Michael Gluck shares lessons learned over the last two years of the Paradigm Project and reflects on ways these innovations are only the start of our efforts to create real and lasting change in how we do, communicate, and use HSR.
Thinking about how disciplines evolve can help HSR leaders make sense of the forces of change churning in and around the field. The goal should be to make innovation a mainstay in HSR to produce relevant and timely research that improves both health and health care.
