Current and Future Demand for Health Services Researchers: Perspectives from Diverse Research Organizations.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The Affordable Care Act and Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act are changing access to, and delivery of, health care in the United States, with potential implications for the field of health services research (HSR). We therefore investigated employers' perceptions of demand for individuals to conduct HSR, the competencies required for success, and implications for HSR training programs.

Data source

Interviews conducted in August 2016 with 21 key informants at a range of U.S.-based HSR organizations.

Study design

We conducted a semistructured, qualitative, telephone interview study to explore relevant topics.

Data collection/extraction methods

Interviews with respondents were transcribed from recordings and then synthesized by respondent organ
