Enriched core competencies for health services and policy research—An update
As health systems continuously evolve, so too should the questions researchers address, the methods they use, and the skills needed to maximize contributions to evidence-informed health system improvement and learning health systems. The refreshed core competencies for HSPR maintain important continuity with the inaugural competency framework while also including several important additions. The framework allows for flexibility in its implementation and us; it can be used to guide the enhancement of existing training programs, the development of new ones, and the growth and development of a HSPR workforce with the skills to lead and contribute within learning health systems.
