A Framework for Management


Recognizing that evidence-based management is as important as evidence-based clinical practice in providing quality service to our veterans, HSR&D leaders are committed to expanding their investment in organizational and management research. In keeping with this commitment, MDRC sponsored a series of meetings and workshops to strengthen management research in VA.

This section is a product of those activities. By providing a conceptual framework and highlighting methodological challenges in conducting management research, we hope to stimulate interest in conducting management research in VA; to increase and develop skills in conducting management research; and to offer opportunities for researchers to explore potential collaborations with other researchers with similar interests.
