Vision We seek the development of a learning health system that generates and applies the best evidence for the collaborative health care choices of each patient and provider; drives discovery as a natural outgrowth of patient care; and ensures innovation, quality, safety, and value in health care. (Roundtable Charter)
Learning Healthcare System The increased complexity of health care requires a sustainable system that gets the right care to the right people when they need it, and then captures the results for improvement. The nation needs a healthcare system that learns.
Every day, patients and doctors face common questions for which we have no solid evidence! For short cervix does bed rest prevent early labor?! Should I take my daily blood pressure medicine in the morning or at night?! How can I help my 87 year old patient with multiple myeloma decide which chemotherapy option is best?! What are the benefits and risks of giving medication to my child with ADHD?
Which Treatment is Best for Whom? High-Quality Evidence is Scarce: < 15% of guideline recommendations are supported by high quality evidence 5 Tricoci P et al. JAMA 2009;301:831-41
