The Health Services Research Unit (HØKH) is a vibrant unit with 30 researchers, around half are PhD candidates, and comprises expertise in medicine, nursing, health economics, psychology, sociology, anthropology, statistics, and mathematical modelling.
Our research is clustered around three overarching themes, Organisation, Integration and Resource Use, Operational Research, and Systems Improvement, we currently hold 15 large research grants and participate in a further 15 together with national and international consortia and collaborators. These include RCTs, intervention studies, observational studies, epidemiological studies, studies based on national registries, and qualitative studies .
The beginning of HØKH:
HØKH was established as a regional research and competence centre in health services research at Akershus University Hospital in 2005. Situated within one of the largest general hospitals in Norway, HØKH has established itself nationally as a leading health services research centre and our research is designed to be patient centred and of clinical relevance.. Initially, most of our studies focused on specialist health services, but today they span across different service levels and on the collaboration between these levels. We employ multi-disciplinary approaches, and we build on, or develop, both qualitative and quantitative methods to address our specific research questions. Over the past ten years, more than 50% of our funding has come from competitive research grants. We publish between 50 and 60 papers in international referee based journals annually, and 2-4 of our PhD students successfully complete their doctorates each year.
Since 2013 HØKH has been the coordinating unit for the Norwegian Health Services Research Network .
