Abstract
BackgroundThere are many proposed benefits of using learning health systems (LHSs), including improved patient outcomes. There has been little adoption of LHS in practice due to challenges and barriers that...
Highlights
Learning health systems are defined by the Institute of Medicine (IoM) as systems in which alignment of scientific and cultural tools lead to knowledge generation to improve healthcare as a result of daily practice.[1]
Enhanced co-ordination and communication between clinicians were seen to improve the quality of patient care.[12,17,18,19,20]
Positive deviance (PD) can identify common traits of patients benefiting from a treatment, using these to identify others who may benefit from the same intervention.[62]
Summary
The absence of a unifying namespace and framework brings a lack of consistency in how LHS is identified and classified. The LHS ‘community’ is fragmented, with groups working on similar systems being unaware of each other’s work. This leads to duplication and the lack of a critical mass of researchers necessary to address barriers to adoption. Results The study found that with apparently limited awareness, all current LHS works fall within nine primary archetypes.
