Mixed methods research (MMR) is the third research paradigm that combines quantitative and qualitative research. MMR can overcome limitations of qualitative and quantitative methods by integrating the advantages of these two. The environment of real world research is complicated. When using real world data to assess the health status of patients, process of treatment, outcomes of prevention and treatment, prognosis and prediction, and support for medical policy development, MMR can be applied to tackle research questions more comprehensively for the quality of research.
