Abstract

This report explores how healthcare organisations can learn continuously from clinical data, research evidence, service experience, and patient outcomes. It outlines the importance of trusted data, multidisciplinary collaboration, feedback processes, implementation capability, and shared learning in the development of learning health systems.

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.
