Hypothesis
This study aims to identify international examples of learning health systems and describe their evaluation approaches.
Conclusion
The research will characterize the current landscape of learning health system evaluation approaches and provide a foundation for developing consistent metrics.
Supporting Evidence
- Learning health systems combine real-time evidence and patient-provider partnerships to improve care.
- Evaluation methods in learning health systems are often variable and not well described.
- This study will help identify gaps in the literature regarding evaluation approaches in learning health systems.
Takeaway
This study is like a big treasure hunt to find out how different health systems check if they are doing a good job and what tools they use to improve care.
Methodology
A jurisdictional scan will be conducted using modified PRISMA guidelines to explore evaluation methods in learning health systems.
Limitations
The reliance on self-reporting may lead to missing some learning health systems and their evaluation approaches.
