The field of health services research faces significant challenges as it aims to address pressing issues of quality and cost in the US healthcare system. Major advances in the availability of electronic clinical data (ECD) provide the opportunity to address questions that are important to the recipients, providers, and purchasers of health care. This is where eGEMs has a role to play, meeting an expressed need in the scientific community by disseminating approaches and methods for using ECD. eGEMs can help researchers address these important questions and consider strategies to further improve the US healthcare system.
卫生服务研究领域面临着重大挑战，因为它旨在解决美国医疗保健系统中紧迫的质量和成本问题。电子临床数据（ECD）可用性的重大进展为解决对医疗保健接受者、提供者和购买者至关重要的问题提供了机会。这正是电子生成证据的方法学（eGEMs）发挥作用的地方，它通过传播使用ECD的方法来满足科学界明确表达的需求。eGEMs可以帮助研究人员解决这些重要问题，并考虑进一步改善美国医疗保健系统的策略。
