 What are the benefits achieved for stakeholders when an organization adopts a learning health system (LHS) model? In May 2021, evaluators and process improvement experts from six Clinical and Translational Science Award (CTSA)-affiliated institutions initiated a workgroup to share their experiences and perspectives on planning, implementing, and improving upon LHS models at their respective organizations. The workgroup’s first project focuses on defining and establishing a framework for LHS Return on Investment (ROI), including improvements in equity, quality, safety, patient satisfaction, reputation, and value. Workgroup members’ local LHS experiences and existing literature informed a framework accounting for multiple stakeholder groups. In this Evaluation webinar, representatives from four CTSA-affiliated organizations at various stages of supporting learning health systems will present the workgroup’s framework for LHS ROI, share their institution’s LHS approach, and elicit audience engagement in a discussion of learning health systems. Attendees will develop an understanding of different approaches to growing a Learning Health System, and gain exposure to a framework to communicate the value proposition to Executive-level leadership and operations staff.

This session is part of a series co-sponsored by the Association for Clinical and Translational Science (ACTS) Evaluation Special Interest Group and the American Evaluation Association (AEA) Translational Research Evaluation Topical Interest Group (TIG).  Learn more about the webinar series here.
