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.

Feasibility and validity of the pediatric ulcerative colitis activity index in routine clinical practice.
The specific objectives of this study were to evaluate the feasibility of using the Pediatric Ulcerative Colitis Activity Index (PUCAI) in routine clinical practice settings and the cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between PUCAI and physician global assessment. Based on a population drawn from a large, diverse collection of pediatric gastroenterology practices, the study concluded that the PUCAI is feasible to use in routine clinical settings.
