Research of HSMO covers the full width of the healthcare sector, from hospital care to elderly care, care for people with disabilities, mental health care, youth care and primary care. To a large extent, our research is carried out on the organization of the primary process of care delivery, both within and across organizations. For example, the research group has been closely involved in the evaluation of several integrated care initiatives in chains or networks.
