Realizing the Goals of Continuous Learning

Realizing the Goals of Continuous Learning: Insights on Ethics & Implementation from Institutional Leaders in Learning Health Care

About the Project

We interviewed leaders of 25 health systems at the forefront of transitioning to a learning health system. The goal was to hear from these leaders why they wanted to move to a system of continuous learning, what helped in their successes, what challenges they have faced, and what ethics issues emerged along the way. This project was conducted in collaboration with the National Academy of Medicine’s Leadership Consortium for Value and Science-Driven Health Care.
