Typically, a Learning Health System sits within an organisational partnership and comprises an integrated team of frontline clinicians, researchers, informaticians and community members, embedded in healthcare. We define a Learning Health System as a system in which routine health practice data, from service delivery and patient care, can lead to iterative cycles of knowledge generation and improvement in healthcare, whereby the whole Learning Health System is enabled by partnership across academic, clinician, community and industry stakeholders.
However, little is known about how to create effective, sustainable and service-led Learning Health System environments that stimulate partnerships across academic, clinician, community, primary care and industry stakeholders to utilise data to iteratively achieve better health outcomes and service improvements.
This user guide provides the Learning Health System Principles, Components, and Evidence Quadrants. Further information is available through the Brief Report: DOI 10.26180/14821791
