ABOUT LEARNING HEALTH SYSTEMS

Despite the availability of new treatments, the U.S. still does not have a health care system that reliably translates these treatments into better health outcomes. A Learning Health System (LHS), in which patients, clinicians, and researchers work together to choose care based on best evidence and to drive discovery and learning as a natural outgrowth of every clinical encounter, can accelerate the translation of knowledge to outcomes. The overall goal of the CCTST's Learning Health System initiative is to accelerate research, translation, and implementation of new knowledge into improved outcomes. This program will develop, test, and refine interventions that facilitate the formation of an LHS within the Academic Health Center (AHC), starting with two pilot projects in the UC Gardner Neuroscience Institute and the CCHMC Mind, Brain, and Behavior Collaborative.

Consultative Services

CCTST members will receive assistance with designing and implementing an LHS, including 1) shared purpose, goals, and theory of change; 2) data collection, infrastructure, and analytics; 3) stakeholder engagement and coproduction with patients and families; 4) integration of clinical care, research, and improvement activities; and 5) leadership, governance, and ethics.

National Academy of Medicine's Learning Health System Series

To facilitate progress toward the development of a LHS, the Leadership Consortium for a Value & Science-Driven Health System has marshaled the insights of leading experts to explore in detail the necessity for transformational change in the fundamental elements of health and health care. The assessments are reported in the 15 volumes of the LHS Series, published by the National Academies Press.

Dissemination & Implementation (D&I) Science

D&I science can help bridge the gap between research and practice by: building an actionable and pragmatic knowledge base to help understand determinants of implementation and dissemination; developing strategies to accelerate and improve scale up and spread of effective innovations to prevent and control chromic disease; and improving healthcare and public health practice to increase population health.
