Evaluation of Learning Health Systems K12 Training Program

This request is for Office of Management and Budget (OMB) clearance for the data collections for an evaluation of the Learning Health Systems K12 Training Program. AHRQ, in partnership with the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI), supports an innovative institutional mentored career development program (K12) to train clinician and research scientists to conduct patient-centered outcomes research within learning health systems (LHSs). LHSs provide an environment where science generated from health services research; patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR); and clinical research, informatics, incentives, and culture are aligned for continuous improvement and innovation. In addition, in an LHS, best practices are seamlessly embedded in the care process, in which stakeholders (i.e., providers, patients, and families) are active participants in all elements, and new knowledge is captured as an integral byproduct of the care experience. The following are the LHS K12 training program objectives: • Develop and implement a training program that includes both didactic and experiential learning and embeds the scholars in training at the interface of research, informatics, and clinical operations within LHSs • Identify, recruit, and train clinician and research scientists who are committed to conducting PCOR in healthcare settings that generate new evidence to facilitate rapid implementation of practices that will improve quality of care and patient outcomes • Establish Centers of Excellence (COEs) in LHS Research Training, focusing on the application and mastery of the newly developed core LHS researcher competencies • Promote cross-institutional scholar-mentor interactions, cooperation on multisite projects, dissemination of project findings, methodological advances, and development of a shared curriculum
