About Center for Learning Health System Sciences - UMN

OUR MISSION To create and foster rapid, iterative learning where evidence informs practice and practice informs evidence within Minnesota's healthcare systems. WHO WE ARE The Center for Learning Health System Sciences (CLHSS) is a collaboration between the University of Minnesota Medical School and the School of Public Health to create value in health delivery systems. WHAT WE DO We create value by establishing an iterative cycle of leveraging existing evidence and gathering new knowledge, applying our work into direct population health action, and developing the learning health system field through education. WHAT IS A LEARNING HEALTH SYSTEM? A Learning Health System (LHS) is a virtuous cycle of data, knowledge, and practice driven by culture, incentives, and leadership. The Institute of Medicine (National Academy of Medicine) describes a Learning Health System as: “A system in which science, informatics, incentives, and culture are aligned for continuous improvement and innovation, with best practices seamlessly embedded in the care process, patients and families as active participants in all elements, and new knowledge is captured as an integral by-product of the care experience.” OUR GOALS Build a research and education LHS program of distinction; Decrease the time for science to successfully make it into patient care and into direct population health action; Seamlessly integrate research, care delivery, and continuous improvement to create new knowledge and directly improve care. CENTER UNITS Four units take part in this effort: Healthcare Innovation Program for Implementation & Evaluation (HI-PIE); Program for Clinical AI (P4AI); Digital Technology Innovation Program (DTI); and Practice-Based Research Network (PBRN).
