TL;DR: In fact, most of the archaeologically recoverable information about human thought and human behavior is text, the good stuff of social science as mentioned in this paper, which is what we use in this paper.
Abstract: This chapter is about methods for managing and analyzing qualitative data. By qualitative data the authors mean text: newspapers, movies, sitcoms, e-mail traffic, folktales, life histories. They also mean narratives--narratives about getting divorced, about being sick, about surviving hand-to-hand combat, about selling sex, about trying to quit smoking.

TL;DR: Indicators are suggested for the measurement of the various relevant aspects of access, with the system and population descriptors seen as process indicators and utilization and satisfaction as outcome indicators in a theoretical model of the access concept.
Abstract: Definitions and aspects of the concept of access to medical care are reviewed and integrated into a framework that views health policy as designed to affect characteristics of the health care delivery system and of the population at risk in order to bring about changes in the utilization of health care services and in the satisfaction of consumers with those services. Indicators are suggested for the measurement of the various relevant aspects of access, with the system and population descriptors seen as process indicators and utilization and satisfaction as outcome indicators in a theoretical model of the access concept.

TL;DR: This online journal will provide a unique platform for this type of research and will publish a broad range of articles – study protocols, debate, theoretical and conceptual articles, rigorous evaluations of the process of change, and articles on methodology and rigorously developed tools – that will enhance the development and refinement of implementation research.
Abstract: Implementation research is the scientific study of methods to promote the systematic uptake of research findings and other evidence-based practices into routine practice, and, hence, to improve the quality and effectiveness of health services and care. This relatively new field includes the study of influences on healthcare professional and organisational behaviour.
