Health services research (HSR) is a relatively new and evolving field. As the organization and financing of healthcare has changed, the need for information about the type and level of care and the effectiveness and quality of care provided in the healthcare system has increased. This chapter provides a definition of HSR, a historical perspective of the development of-the field and the relationship between HSR and public health policy, and a discussion of the profession of pharmacy and its relationship to HSR. The chapter concludes by highlighting some of the institutions that commonly fund HSR and journals that publish manuscripts on HSR topics. 

Most fields of research can be identified by the academic degree of the investigators in that area of research. However, health services researchers are identified more by the work than by the particular degree of the investigator. This diversity of degrees reflects the many disciplines that work in the field. As seen in Fig. 1, many disciplines may be involved in a given HSR project, making it difficult to succinctly define the field of HSR. In 1995, the Institute of Medicine (lOM) developed a comprehensive definition that characterized HSR as a...
