Download (436.01 KB) The Alliance for Healthier Communities and its member organizations have long been committed to continuous learning and evidence-informed practice. Until now, the work to support this commitment has been weighted towards data collection and technical infrastructure building. These elements are important foundations for the Learning Health System, but in themselves, they are not sufficient to complete the cycle of learning. Combining this foundation with new processes of learning and improvement will result in a complete system, a Learning Health System. Making this small but significant shift will better empower our member organizations to turn information and insights into meaningful improvement. This in turn will lead to better health and wellbeing for the people and communities we all serve.
This report is a "moment-in-time" snapshot from 2020. It describes the motivation for transforming the Alliance into a learning health system, early steps in the journey, and the then-current state of our LHS. It also defines the roles of various stakeholders and participants and opportunities for them to participate in the work.
