The CIN group conducts multidisciplinary research, both basic and applied, that examine the use, costs, quality, accessibility, delivery, organization, financing, and outcomes of health care services to increase knowledge and understanding of the structure, processes, and effects of health services for individuals and populations. The key focus at HSU is the understanding and acquisition of knowledge on how to improve quality and coverage of effective interventions to achieve desired health outcomes. Research at HSU includes pragmatic clinical trials, measuring effectiveness, clinical policy, measuring and understanding outcomes, implementation health research, quality improvement, Service delivery innovation, health governance, human resource for health, patient and family experiences, and health information systems. The group is affiliated to the KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Research Programme. Each dataset has a citation and DOI, facilitating attribution and connection to research publications.
