Health services research (HSR) can demonstrate and advance the value of rehabilitation. However, involvement of rehabilitation researchers in HSR is restricted due to limited exposure and understanding of its scope. This session will provide an overview of HSR for investigators and clinicians. Attendees will be encouraged to explore the diversity of HSR domains and associated methodologies, using applied research examples provided by the presenters to help delineate the scope of health services research and its potential impact.

Learning Objectives:

Describe key domains of health services research
Identify whether a project fits within the scope of health services research across a variety of research methodologies
Discuss how health services research can advance the value of rehabilitation
