Tools to help you understand and manage strategic issues within your Learning Health System
This tool describes a one-page implementation planning checklist based on core concepts of existing implementation science frameworks. This tool may be helpful for teams and organizations in healthcare settings that can adapt and use this checklist for rapid-cycle innovation and…
This tool presents an evidence-based framework that helps users to understand, design, develop, and evaluate Learning Health Systems. Posted by: sarahgilman
This case study describes the Alliance for Healthier Communities’ journey to a learning health system in primary care. The case study provides useful examples from organizational culture, data and analytics, people and partnerships, and other areas. Find more information here:…
This tool introduces the behavior change wheel (BCW), a framework that can be used to characterize and design behavior change interventions. This may be a useful framework for LHS’s given that behavior change at several levels is integral to the…
This tool defines and describes organizational readiness for change (ORC), including the conditions that promote ORC and the outcomes expected to result from it. Find more information here: by: sarahgilman
This tool provides readers with suggestions to better integrate patient, caregiver, and community involvement into learning health systems. It offers questions and recommendations to determine if and how health systems actively include patients, caregivers, and communities in their LHS. Find…
This tool is a health equity roadmap developed by NYU Langone. It can serve as an organizing framework for pragmatic research in healthcare systems wishing to target and eliminate health inequities. This article outlines each element of the roadmap. Find…
This tool is a scoping review that identifies and describes the requisite individual competencies (knowledge, skills, and attitudes) and system competencies (capacities, characteristics, and capabilities) described for operationalizing LHS. Find more information here: by: sarahgilman
This tool presents a logic model for evaluating LHSs based on Kaiser Permanente Washington’s experience. It may be helpful for organizations that want to establish, implement, or evaluate an LHS. Find more information here: by: sarahgilman
This tool presents the PARiHS (Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services) framework as a way to implement research into practice. It examines interactions between three key elements for knowledge translation: evidence, context, and facilitation. Find more information here:…
This tool is a paper that presents a conceptual framework that has been developed in Canada to support the implementation of value-creating LHSs. The framework describes four elements that characterize LHSs: (1) core values, (2) pillars and accelerators, (3) processes,…
This tool is a guide to using the Theoretical Domains Framework of behavior change to assess implementation problems and support intervention design. Find more information here: by: sarahgilman
