Position paper of the German Network for Health Care Research: What is health care research?

The scope and definition of health care research is a matter of discussion in our scientific community. The Board of the German Network for Health Care Research has drafted a position paper that was extensively reviewed and commented upon by all working groups and specialist groups of the network. The present version represents consented common grounds to a large degree but is neither complete nor final. We consider this position paper a living document that will evolve and further converge in an ongoing discussion in the network.

Abstract

The scope and definition of health care research is a matter of discussion in our scientific community. The Board of the German Network for Health Care Research has drafted a position paper that was extensively reviewed and commented upon by all working groups and specialist groups of the network. The present version represents consented common grounds to a large degree but is neither complete nor final. We consider this position paper a living document that will evolve and further converge in an ongoing discussion in the network.
