Given the fact that health services research has become increasingly popular in Germany during the last 5 years this article focuses on the status quo of this research field in a multinational comparison. An overview of the health services research situation in the USA, UK, Australia and Germany is given by considering development status, definition and future challenges. This overview shows that health services research is by now regarded as an essential field in these countries. Despite clear distinctions in research tradition and research infrastructure there are cross-national themes and challenges regarding research questions and organisation of research. The common challenges of the future are probably the enhancement of research capacities, the further development of adequate research methods and the question of translating research results into practice. All countries concur that the cooperation between stakeholders of the health services research field needs to be strengthened.
鉴于在过去五年中健康服务研究在德国越来越受欢迎，本文聚焦于该研究领域在跨国比较中的现状。通过考量发展状况、定义及未来挑战，对美国、英国、澳大利亚和德国的健康服务研究情况进行了概述。这一概述表明，健康服务研究目前在这些国家被视为一个重要领域。尽管在研究传统和研究基础设施方面存在明显差异，但在研究问题和研究组织方面存在跨国主题和挑战。未来的共同挑战可能是提高研究能力、进一步发展适当的研究方法以及将研究成果转化为实践的问题。所有国家都认同，健康服务研究领域各利益相关方之间的合作需要加强。
