Using Implementation Science to Advance Learning Health Systems

The “Using Implementation Science to Advance Learning Health Systems Workshop” is an online interactive workshop led by a team of PRISE Center and LHS-E-STAR Center Faculty from UCSF. This training is comprised of a combination of lectures and small group sessions.

The workshop provides learners with the following: 1) an overview of core LHS and ImS principles, 2) an overview of how to apply LHS methods to patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR), and 3) how to translate LHS concepts into ‘real-world’ work and research settings.

The workshop covers the following topics:

• Introduction to Learning Health Systems
• Introduction to Implementation Science
• Identifying Evidence and Making the Case for Translation
• An Overview of Service Design
• Reflections on Community Engagement: Listening, Learning, and Action
• Applying Program Evaluation Methods from ImS to the LHS Context
• Comparative Effectiveness Research and Study Design
• Rapid Qualitative Approaches to LHS Implementation
• Selecting Quantitative Outcomes: Using real-world metrics for evaluation

The UCSF Learning Health System (LHS) Embedded Scientist Training and Research (E-STAR) Center Scholars program is a training opportunity for scholars at UCSF to work with health system and community partners to conduct research projects embedded in healthcare delivery systems. The goal of the E-STAR Center is to develop a diverse workforce of leaders to engage with health systems and community stakeholders to conduct embedded LHS research that improves healthcare quality, equity, and patient-centered outcomes.
