Healthcare Delivery and Methodologies IRG – HDM

IRG Summary
Studies may be multidisciplinary; may focus on the organization, population, community, family, or individual; and may cover a wide range of chronic or acute diseases or health issues across the lifespan. HDM also reviews studies which propose the development of new biostatistical approaches or new uses of existing methodologies relevant to behavioral and social science research.
