The call for more research in health care delivery has increased with the rising cost of medical care. Since the end of the fifties, a new research direction is identifying itself primarily in the Anglo-Saxon literature: Health Services Research. Examples discussed include results of Health Services Research regarding the diffusion of medical technology and the mechanisms to control costs of health services. These and similar results from special studies on average length of stay and utilization of hospital beds show that Health Services Research should develop from primarily descriptive studies into an analytical and experimental discipline in order to provide clues to the pressing problems of the delivery of medical care.
随着医疗成本的不断攀升，对医疗保健服务开展更多研究的呼声日益高涨。自五十年代末以来，一个新的研究方向主要在盎格鲁 - 撒克逊文献中崭露头角：卫生服务研究。所讨论的例子包括卫生服务研究中关于医疗技术传播以及控制卫生服务成本机制的成果。这些以及关于平均住院时间和医院床位利用率的专项研究的类似结果表明，卫生服务研究应从主要的描述性研究发展成为一门分析性和实验性学科，以便为医疗保健服务提供中紧迫的问题提供线索。
