What is a learning health system?
The learning health system approach is about establishing a continuous learning cycle in which the people and organizations involved in health research, care and social services, including patients, work in partnership.
By comparing actual practices to good practices and identifying evidence, it becomes possible to derive knowledge and improve the health care system and care trajectories on an ongoing basis.
