The Learning Health Systems Rehabilitation Research Network (LeaRRn) conducted a follow-up, cross-sectional needs assessment using the Rehabilitation Researchers Learning Health Systems Needs Assessment Survey to identify current interest and knowledge in learning health system (LHS) competencies among rehabilitation professionals from varied fields and settings. The survey included 70 competency items that were based on the core competencies developed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality organized by LHS domain. The main outcomes were ratings of knowledge and interest (none, some, or a lot) for each LHS competency item. This presenation will review the results of the study including the demographic characteristics of our sample, currently knowledge and interest in LHS competencies among rehabilitation researchers. The results of the survey can be used by LHS training programs to identify areas to target learning opportunities to work toward achieving proficiency in LHS competencies among rehabilitation researchers.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participants will be able to describe learning health system competencies and domains.
Upon completion, participants will be able to identify competencies of high interest among rehabilitation professionals.
Upon completion, participants will be able to identify areas of limited knowledge and/or opportunities for additional training among rehabilitation professionals interested in learning health systems.
