Learning Health Systems aim to enhance the efficiency, quality, and value of healthcare by capturing practice as data, generating knowledge from this data, and utilizing that knowledge to enhance care. Collaboration between health systems, clinicians, informaticists, and researchers with specialized LHS knowledge is needed to conduct successful LHS research. Speakers in this symposium will introduce the concept of LHS research, describe LHS research competencies, and discuss two projects within an LHS focused on capturing and converting clinical data into knowledge and actionable evidence. We will discuss the process of developing and completing each LHS project, share lessons learned, discuss effective strategies from the perspectives of LHS researchers, clinicians and informaticists. Additionally, we will present information on the Learning Health Systems Rehabilitation Research Network (LeaRRn), an NIH-funded rehabilitation resource center dedicated to developing rehabilitation LHS expertise and supporting emerging work in this area.
