Rapid synthesis: Creating rapid-learning health systems in Canada

In this report, Lavis and colleagues describe findings from a rapid synthesis that aimed to better understand five questions regarding the assets and gaps in creating rapid-learning health systems across 14 Canadian jurisdictions, emphasizing the importance of collaboration and leveraging existing infrastructure. Key findings highlight that while no specific recipe for creating such systems exists, various strategies and factors have been identified in specific contexts. Examples highlight successful connections within primary care, the elderly population, and addressing issues like the opioid crisis, while emphasizing the need for better connectivity, particularly in areas such as data sharing and patient experiences.
