To assess the current status of health services research in nursing, 113 studies reported between 1980 and 1989 were reviewed. Identified gaps in this research included comprehensive cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analyses, effects of technology on patient care, evaluations of information systems, evaluations of innovative care delivery approaches, and studies of ethical issues related to the use of scarce resources.
