Coproductive Learning Health System Strength Assessment and Development
Coproductive Learning Health Systems possess an operational philosophy and structure that provides continuous insight into organizational behavior and performance from staff, patients, families, and community groups. Qualitative and quantitative data are continuously monitored and analyzed to improve access, equity, utilization, quality and patient safety. Our aim is to help organizations identify and scale existing components of a learning health system into a system-wide learning and improvement capability that supports equitable 'whole-person' care that is responsive to evolving individual, family, and community needs.
