Health Services Research is a scientific field of inquiry that examines the structures, functions, and outcomes of health services delivered to individuals and populations. It involves investigation into all service sectors that affect health, not just the medical care system, and its purview is global. HSR has been developing for the past 40 years and the PhD Program in Health Services and Policy Analysis was initiated at UC Berkeley over 20 years ago by founding Chair Richard Scheffler and several collaborating faculty in the School of Public Health.
