卫生保健市场的快速变化和日益复杂给卫生服务研究带来了新的挑战。这些挑战中的首要问题是创造一种环境，使市场方法能够尽可能地发挥作用。由于市场驱动的医疗保健的一个基本原则是让购买者有机会做出明智的选择，因此有效信息的可用性是健康医疗保健系统的重要组成部分。卫生保健研究人员有机会通过提供所有利益相关者-患者、提供者、购买者、健康计划和各级政策制定者-所需的信息和工具来做出明智的决策，衡量和监测质量，并寻求他们在卫生保健服务上花费的资金的价值。卫生服务研究人员现在比以往任何时候都更需要确保他们工作的产品建立在科学和证据的基础上，并将其转化为实用的创新和知识，以便应用于改善卫生保健。特别是，从结果研究和循证医学的基础开始的质量相关信息，对于正在努力在正确的时间向正确的患者提供正确的护理的临床医生来说至关重要。卫生服务研究人员还必须满足消费者对与质量相关的信息日益增长的渴望，这些信息将帮助他们对个人健康做出明智的选择，并在有机会时，对他们获得的服务做出明智的决定。
The rapid transformation and growing complexity of the health care marketplace has created new challenges for health services research. Chief among these challenges is to create an environment in which the market approach can work as well as possible. Because a basic tenet of marketdriven health care is the opportunity for informed choices by purchasers, the availability of valid information is an essential building block of a healthy health care system. Health care researchers have an opportunity to contribute by providing the information and tools that all the stakeholders-patients, providers, purchasers, health plans, and policymakers at all levels-need to make informed decisions, measure and monitor quality, and seek value for the money they spend on health care services.Health services researchers, now more than ever, need to ensure that the products of their work are based on science and evidence, and that they are translated into practical innovations and knowledge for application toward improved health care. In particular, quality-related information, starting from the foundation of outcomes research and evidence-based medicine, is critical to clinicians who are striving to provide the right care, to the right patient, at the right time. Health services researchers also must quench the growing consumer thirst for quality-related information that will help them make informed choices about their personal health and, when they have the opportunity, informed decisions about the services they receive.
