Health services and policy research (HSPR) is conducted by Daphne Cockwell School of Nursing researchers interested in understanding how broad socio-political, ethical, economic, technologic, human resource, regulatory, quality, efficiency, and geographic determinants influence policy and the health and well-being of people and healthcare systems. To do this we engage in a variety of research activities focused on evaluating, improving, and informing health services and policy development.
