Implementation strategies and outcome measures for advancing learning health systems: a mixed methods systematic review

In this systematic review by Somerville and colleagues, the implementation and evaluation of learning health systems across international healthcare settings are examined. Thirty-five studies reveal a focus on digital data capture within learning health systems, with identified strategies including change record systems and local consensus discussions. While learning health systems show promise in optimizing health service delivery and improving patient care, further research is needed to fully understand their impact on outcomes and costs, emphasizing the importance of ongoing evaluation within health systems research.
