“…..In response to questions from the Lower House of Parliament about the knowledge infrastructure for health sciences the Minister of Health, Welfare and Sport has identified the need for an analysis by the Advisory Council on Health Research (RGO).
The minister formulated two central questions:
‘... whether the knowledge infrastructure is of sufficient size and stability to properly address the questions regarding developments in the health care system now and in the future’ and
‘... whether there is a good balance between free risky innovative research and demand guided research’. For both questions he requested ‘... a good analysis and a convincing answer’ by the RGO.
Health services research in this advisory document Health services research addresses the structure, organisation, functioning and effects of health services, and the ways in which these interact with demand for, and use of, these health services. Health services research covers the whole field of health care, i.e. cure, care and preventive healthcare.
The Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport formulated the Societal Tasks as a guiding principle for the knowledge and innovation agenda of the health care sector. These tasks have recently been updated and are as follows:
1 Anticipating a growing and changing demand for healthcare
2 Living longer in good health and participate longer in society
3 Quality of care and patient safety
4 Good management and governance in the healthcare sector
5 Managing limited healthcare resources (shortages and risks)……”
