Health services research in nursing: current status and future directions
Abstract
To assess the current status of health services research in nursing, 113 studies reported between 1980 and 1989 were reviewed. Identified gaps in this research included comprehensive cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analyses, effects of technology on patient care, evaluations of information systems, evaluations of innovative care delivery approaches, and studies of ethical issues related to the use of scarce resources.
