Using health services research to meet ACGME resident research requirements.
Health services research is a field of research that crosses many disciplines. It represents a novel way to address the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requirements for scholarly activity of residents and faculty in academic radiology departments. In addition to meeting training requirements, it offers future radiologists the opportunity to develop skills that will be essential as we transition from a volume based health care delivery system to an outcome based delivery system. This report introduces examples of health services research projects and the types of data resources that are available to facilitate such projects.
