A mortality surveillance collaboration between a health system and public health department.
The authors described a collaboration between a health system and public health department to create a mortality surveillance system that enabled the health system to identify more than six times the number of deaths identified through local system medical records. They concluded that this epidemiological process that combined nuanced data captured through clinical care in health systems with subsequent data on mortality can be of particular benefit to underserved communities.

Primary care's challenges and responses in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic: insights from AHRQ's learning community.
The purpose of this paper was to review the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality’s (AHRQ) learning community organized to engage and support primary care in responding to COVID-19 and provide an opportunity for participants to communicate learning and peer support, improve understanding of the stressors and challenges faced by practices, determine needs, and identify possible solutions to challenges of the pandemic. The researchers identified challenges, responses, and innovations that occurred through the engagement and information sharing of the learning community and categorized them across 5 domains, including: patient-centeredness, clinician and practice, systems and infrastructure, community and public health; and health equity which cut across each of the other domains. The authors concluded that the learning community provided valuable insights for future research and policy, primary care delivery improvement, and ensuring greater preparedness for future challenges.
