This month we introduce a series on the Learning Health System (LHS). This approach blends research with health care operations to speed the generation, synthesis, uptake, and refinement of evidence to improve population health, equity, patient experience, health workforce sustainability, and affordability. We introduce the LHS Action Framework describing how research and health care operations are linked and enacted in a comprehensive LHS approach to advance population health and health equity. Maureen Smith and Rob Reid will join Walter Wodchis to engage in discussion about this approach to health system improvement. Many are talking about the Learning Health System. What does it mean to you? Join the conversation at this month’s event.
