A digital architecture for a network-based learning health system: integrating chronic care management, quality improvement, and research.
The authors collaborated with the ImproveCareNow Network to create a proof-of-concept architecture for a network-based Learning Health System. This collaboration involved transitioning an existing registry to one that is linked to the electronic health record (EHR), enabling a “data in once” strategy. This required automating a series of reports that support care improvement while also demonstrating the use of observational registry data for comparative effectiveness research.

Graphical display of diagnostic test results in electronic health records: a comparison of 8 systems.
In an attempt to understand how well current electronic health records (EHRs) facilitate accurate display and interpretation of clinical laboratory test results, the researchers evaluated the graphical displays of laboratory test results in 8 EHRs using objective criteria for optimal graphs. None of the EHRs met all 11 criteria.
