Abstract
Health research findings and health practitioner observations are key components in advancing the state of health care delivery and outcomes. Interconnected communications and computing technology can provide efficient means of gathering, analyzing and disseminating information. The Institute of Medicine introduced an early vision of a continuous health data analysis and knowledge generation system and called it a Learning Healthcare System (LHS). A learning health system that incorporates health data analysis and knowledge generation has the potential to provide many benefits to public health and individual health outcomes. The focus of this research is to use a qualitative case study approach to examine emerging learning health system capabilities of United States based or supported health data networks among four early endorsers of the learning health systems concepts in terms of system maturity, learning capability, and knowledge dissemination. Additional health data network concepts are also studied, including system use and availability, health data transformation, and sustainability.
