| Welcome to the Health Services Research and Development Center website, a division of the Department of Health Policy and Management at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. The Center is one of the oldest in the United States devoted to health services research. Here, you will find information about the Center's history, faculty and staff, research, publications, and more. There are also links to other websites within both the School of Public Health and the University. We welcome your questions, comments, and suggestions. The Health Services Research and Development Center was established in 1969 to provide a locus for research on the organization, financing, staffing and technology of health services and their impact on the use, cost, and quality of the care they offer and on patient outcomes. We seek to advance knowledge about effective and efficient approaches to providing health services to all people. To that end, we undertake methodological and policy-relevant research in local, regional, and national venues. While the Center is based administratively in the Department of Health Policy and Management of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, we work collaboratively with faculty from other departments in the School, the School of Medicine, the Johns Hopkins Hospital, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and with researchers elsewhere. Our research is supported by major Federal agencies, including the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the National Institutes of Health, and by private foundations and industry. Our research program emphasizes interdisciplinary research on timely issues facing the American health care system. Priority is given to research on Federal and state policy issues, managed health care, and the assessment of quality and patient outcomes. Special attention is devoted to the role of preventive services and to the impact of health policies and services on vulnerable population groups such as children, the elderly, uninsured, mentally ill, and disabled persons.
