Health services and health systems research will be critical to developing an enduring and resilient system. This Initiative aims to strengthen the evidence base to assist in future-proofing our health care and aged care systems.
This work will include identification and promotion of:
- Powerful examples of how health services research has informed decisions about sustainable health care
- Opportunities for health services research and health system research to contribute further to future proofing our health care system
- Strategies to deliver on these opportunities.
