About this publication
A learning health system is one in which data, evidence, service experience, and patient outcomes are continuously used to improve healthcare delivery.
This report examines the foundations required to support such systems, including reliable data infrastructure, meaningful clinical participation, research capability, implementation processes, and mechanisms for sharing learning across teams and organisations.
It also considers the challenges healthcare organisations may face when attempting to translate information into practical improvement, particularly where systems, responsibilities, and evidence sources are fragmented.
