Abstract

Abstract: The scope and definition of health care research is a matter of discussion in our scientific community. The Board of the German Network for Health Care Research has drafted a position paper that was extensively reviewed and commented upon by all working groups and specialist groups of the network. The present version represents consented common grounds to a large degree but is neither complete nor final. We consider this position paper a living document that will evolve and further converge in an ongoing discussion in the network.

德国卫生保健研究网络的立场文件：什么是卫生保健研究？

医疗保健研究的范围和定义是我们科学界讨论的一个问题。德国保健研究网络理事会起草了一份立场文件，该网络的所有工作组和专家组都对该文件进行了广泛审查和评论。目前的版本在很大程度上代表了各方同意的共同基础，但既不完整，也不是最后的。我们认为这一立场文件是一份活生生的文件，将在网络上的持续讨论中不断发展和进一步融合。
