MISSION: To
promote better health and healthcare for
veterans through better understanding of
healthcare provider behavior, the factors
that influence it, and the health systems
interventions that will improve it.
Welcome to the VA HSR&D Center of Excellence
for the Study of Healthcare Provider Behavior.
This site will tell you what we do, what we
offer and who we are.
Established in 1993, the VA HSR&D Center
of Excellence for the Study of Healthcare Provider
Behavior aims to improve the quality of VA
healthcare by providing broad-based expertise
in the theoretical basis, design, implementation,
and evaluation of interventions to influence
provider behavior and the healthcare systems
that influence it. The Center carries out a
program of research focused on healthcare provider
behavior and its determinants, and is committed
to increased understanding of the features
of the environment, organization, practice,
provider, patient and encounter that influence
healthcare provider practices and ultimately
health outcomes. Guided by a comprehensive
strategic plan and internationally recognized
leaders in health services research on its
Advisory Board, the Center is comprised of
a consortium of health services researchers
at the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System,
UCLA, and RAND. |
