In this section we will describe and discuss the findings of an online stakeholder consultation, held cross researchers and policy makers Europe in the summer of 2009, addressing two main questions:
(a) What are (or what should be) the research priorities for the field of health services, including topics, methodology issues and timeliness? (b) Is the current research infrastructure equipped for these needs, and if not, how can it be strengthened? As Health Services Research is a typical example of applied research, aimed at the solution of health care policy problems, emphasis should be placed on determining, among stakeholders in the field, what these problems are and how they should be studied. To feed the exchange and dialogue between researchers and policy makers, it is vital to clarify the views and experiences among stakeholders, policy makers and the research community at national and international level. This systematically collected input will serve as a point of reference to evaluate current research and a research agenda for the future. It is therefore important to share and discuss its outcomes with the participants of the EUPHA workshop. What conclusions can be drawn from the consultation and which topics should receive more or less attention, when setting priorities for the HSR agenda of the future? (aut. ref.)
