The Dialogic Health Systems Research Framework (DHSRF): A tool for facilitating self-criticality, researcher interactions and knowledge management in Health Systems Research & Policy Studies.

ABSTRACT: Health Systems Research (HSR) has witnessed significant progress in theory, methodology and practice over the last two decades. The complexity of health systems has allowed for diverse lenses for HSR. However, given the absence of dialogue between the different streams of HSR, the diversity of this field, perhaps its greatest strength, is turning out to be quite the challenge. Without a common language that enables researcher interaction and critical examination of the field, diversity can easily turn into a din. To overcome this confusion, evidence-based policy making requires tools that can assess the diverse evidence generated for designing systems coherent with the desired values and principles. Hence, we need a common research framework for HSR, to understand, describe and explain the
