MISSION

The mission of the HSRNG is to facilitate collaboration and increase the scope and effectiveness of rehabilitation-relevant health services research.

VISION

To leverage our expertise as rehabilitation professionals to conduct, promote, and disseminate rehabilitation-relevant health services research that directly informs how rehabilitation services are organized, delivered, evaluated, and reimbursed. Together, we can provide the quality evidence that gives rehabilitation a strong voice during these transformative times.

GOALS

  • Increase capacity for conducting and disseminating rehabilitation-relevant health services research
  • Conduct timely, policy-relevant projects that demonstrate the value of rehabilitative care and inform decision-making
