摘要：

Health services research (HSR) is the research field that seeks to examine systematically the organisation, provision, and financing of health care services. There currently is only a rudimentary HSR capacity in the area of spinal cord injury (SCI). To a large extent, the HSR community has not addressed issues concerning persons with SCI, and the disability research and medical rehabilitation communities have not considered issues of HSR that affect the SCI population. However, due to recent changes in (1) the clinical management of SCI; (2) the expectations of persons with SCI, and (3) health care delivery and finance, the time is now ripe for the development of a HSR capacity in SCI. This article summarises current efforts at HSR in SCI in the United States, which have been primarily in the areas of trauma care and medical rehabilitation. It considers an agenda for future health services research in SCI, which must include research on post-rehabilitation health care and personal assistance needs. Finally, this article suggests strategies for developing a comprehensive HSR capacity in SCI.
