Socio-technical infrastructure for a learning health system.
This partially AHRQ-authored article discusses the third characteristic that contributes to the uniqueness of learning health systems (LHSs) as an approach to health improvement, specifically infrastructure. It examines the role of infrastructure in the overall architecture of an LHS and describes the three linked elements: 1) Improvement cycles directed at critical health problems; 2) Socio-technical infrastructure providing key services supporting co-occurring improvement cycles; and 3) Governance of the system. It then discusses the scope and meaning of socio-technical infrastructure and provides a diagram and brief description of the 10 interconnected socio-technical services.

Assessment of learning health system science competency in the equity and justice domain.
This paper assessed learning health system (LHS) competency in the newly added knowledge domain of Equity and Justice. This eighth domain was adopted by AHRQ in mid-2022. The authors developed a proficiency assessment for the new equity and justice domain. The assessment criteria were iteratively defined, reviewed, and edited by content experts and trainees. The new items were developed by trainees and experts at one LHS training center with experience conducting research focused on healthcare inequities among marginalized populations. The same proficiency assessment criteria as for the other domains was applied with four levels of mastery: "no exposure," "foundational awareness," "emerging," and "proficient".

Developing LHS scholars' competency around reducing burnout and moral injury.
The study addresses the lack of a wellness competency focusing on burnout and moral injury prevention within Learning Health Systems (LHS). Experts collaborated to develop pathways for implementing such programs, emphasizing distinctions between moral injury and burnout, proposing interventions, and integrating expert input. The study found that a competency aimed at equipping scholars with skills for measuring, intervening, and embedding burnout and moral injury prevention into LHS structures, would potentially improve work lives and patient outcomes within LHS.
