'Trying to fly the plane while we were building it'. applying a learning health systems approach to evaluate early-stage barriers and facilitators to implementing primary care transformation: a qualitative study.
This study’s objective was to examine the use of a learning health system (LHS) in primary care transformation (PCT) by utilizing the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to categorize implementation lessons. A large integrated health delivery system in Minnesota began implementation of a population management PCT in two of its 40 primary care clinics in May 2019. Semistructured qualitative interviews were conducted and observational field notes were taken. Inductive coding of the data was performed, and resultant codes were mapped to the CFIR. Seventeen codes emerged to describe care team members from the two clinics to adopt PCT occurring in each of the five CFIR domains (intervention characteristics, outer setting, inner setting, characteristics of individuals and process), with most codes occurring in the ‘inner setting’ domain.

Pursuing patient safety at the intersection of design, systems engineering, and health care delivery research: an ongoing assessment.
This article describes a grant initiative undertaken by AHRQ that brings design, systems engineering, and health care delivery research together to test new ideas that could make health care safer. Based on feedback received from project teams, lessons learned are emerging that find considerable variation among project teams in deploying the methodology and a longer-than-anticipated amount of time in bringing team members from different disciplines together where they learn to communicate and function as a team. Three narratives are generated in terms of what success might look like.

Managing organizational constraints in innovation teams: a qualitative study across four health systems.
This study examined how interdisciplinary teams are affected by and manage external constraints over the lifecycle of their innovation project. The authors used a multimethod qualitative approach consisting of over 3 years of participant observation data to analyze how four interdisciplinary teams across different health system experienced and managed constraints as they pursued process innovations. Their findings point to several practical implications concerning innovation processes in healthcare: 1) how conditions in the organizational context, or constraints, can impede team progress at different stages of innovation; and 2) the collective efforts, or tactics, teams use to manage or work around those constraints to further progress on their innovations.

Interventions to reduce hospital length of stay in high-risk populations: a systematic review.
Many strategies to reduce hospital length of stay (LOS) have been implemented, but few studies have evaluated hospital-led interventions focused on high-risk populations. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Learning Health System panel commissioned this study to further evaluate system-level interventions for LOS reduction. The objective of this study was to identify and synthesize evidence regarding potential systems-level strategies to reduce LOS for patients at high risk for prolonged LOS.

Multi-level analysis of the learning health system: Integrating contributions from research on organizations and implementation.
The authors have developed a comprehensive, multilevel framework to inform learning health systems (LHSs) research and practice in order to enhance both research on LHSs and practical steps toward their development. Drawing on the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research, the social-ecological framework, and the organizational change framework, their new framework can help investigators and practitioners broadly scan and then investigate forces influencing improvement and learning and may point to otherwise unnoticed interactions among influential factors.

Breadth and exclusivity of hospital and physician networks in US insurance markets.
The goal of this study was to quantify network breadth and overlap among primary care physician (PCP), cardiology, and general acute care hospital networks for employer-based (large group and small group), individually purchased (marketplace), Medicare Advantage (MA), and Medicaid managed care (MMC) plans. The main outcomes measured were percentage of in-network physicians and/or hospitals within a 60-minute drive from a hypothetical patient in a given zip code (breadth), and the number of physicians and/or hospitals within each network that overlapped with other insurers' networks, expressed as a percentage of the total possible number of shared connections (exclusivity). Networks were categorized by network breadth size and analyzed by insurance type, state, and insurance, physician, and/or hospital market concentration level, as measured by the Hirschman-Herfindahl index. Markets with concentrated primary care and insurance markets had the broadest and least exclusive primary care networks among large-group commercial plans. Markets with the least concentration had the narrowest and most exclusive networks. Rising levels of insurer and market concentration were associated with broader and less exclusive healthcare networks. The authors suggest that this means that patients could switch to a lower-cost, narrow network plan without losing-in-network coverage to their PCP.

Developing criteria and associated instructions for consistent and useful quality improvement study data extraction for health systems.
This paper describes AHRQ’s efforts to collate and assess quality improvement studies to support learning health systems (LHS). The authors identified quality improvement studies and evaluated the consistency of data extraction from two experienced independent reviewers at three time points: baseline, first revision, and final revision. Six investigators looked at the data extracted by the independent reviewers and determined the extent of similarity on a scale of 0 to 10. Two LHS participants were then asked to assess the relative value of their criteria. The consistency of extraction improved from a mean 1.17 score at baseline to 6.07 at first revision, and 6.81 at the final revision. There was not a significant improvement from the first to final revision. However, the LHS participants rated the value of these ratings a 9 and a 6, demonstrating that there is value in developing criteria.

A narrative review and proposed framework for using health system data with systematic reviews to support decision-making.
This paper addresses when and how the use of health system data might make systematic reviews more useful to decisionmakers. The authors have developed a framework to guide the use of health system data alongside systematic reviews based on a narrative review of the literature and empirical experience. They recommend future methodological work on how best to handle internal and external validity concerns of health system data in the context of systematically reviewed data and work on developing infrastructure to do this type of work.

AHRQ series on improving translation of evidence: progress and promise in supporting learning health systems.
The authors discuss the articles in the AHRQ EPC series published in this journal over the past six months. They state that satisfaction, care, and costs would all improve if health care delivery were as efficient and effective as possible given current knowledge. They conclude that millions of health decisions must be made by clinicians, patients, and health care systems, and they believe better decisions will be made with evidence.

AHRQ series on improving translation of evidence: perceived value of translational products by the AHRQ EPC Learning Health Systems Panel.
This paper discusses the outcomes of an evaluation of translational products for clinicians and healthcare providers by an EPC (Evidence-based Practice Center) Learning Health Systems Panel convened by AHRQ. The panel, led by two national leaders and composed of key stakeholders evaluated different translational products for learning health systems and also discussed challenges in adopting evidence-based practices. They evaluated a number of different products, and decided that the one- and three-page summaries, the MAGICapp and Tableau for interactive data visualization, and clinical encounter and health system decision aids were the most useful products. As a result of their findings, the EPC Program is further developing the one- and three-page summaries and MAGICapp and Tableau data visualization products.

AHRQ series on improving translation of evidence: linking evidence reports and performance measures to help learning health systems use new information for improvement.
This paper analyzed ways to enhance usability of AHRQ’s Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) reports. The reports are often lengthy and difficult for users to navigate. A quality measure index was created to allow health systems to more efficiently access relevant information. A test was created where two tables were embedded in an EPC report. The first identified quality measures covered by the report descriptively. The second contained page numbers in the executive summary which hyperlinked to those pages with the quality measures. An exercise with two health system-targeted scenarios was then created. The participants were timed how long it took to find answers to scenario questions and gave feedback. It was found that it took 63.4% less time to find quality measure information with the hyperlinked indexing tables than without. The participants felt that the tables were easy to use and more user friendly to health systems.

AHRQ EPC series on improving translation of evidence into practice for the learning health system: introduction.
This article introduces a special series of articles summarizing the AHRQ EPC program’s work to improve translation of high-quality evidence into practice. The authors summarize each of the nine EPC pilot projects and characterize the chosen approach to improve uptake of EPC review findings. They anticipate that the articles in this series will inform health systems about how others have tried to improve the translation of evidence into practice and use this information to inform their own efforts to bridge the evidence-to-practice gap going forward.

Preparing healthcare delivery organizations for managing computable knowledge.
This article describes results of an AHRQ-funded conference where a group of experts from a range of fields examined the current state of knowledge management in healthcare delivery organizations. Conference presentations and discussions were recorded and analyzed by the authors in order to identify foundational concepts. The concepts identified are: the current state of knowledge management in healthcare delivery organizations is reliant upon an outdated biomedical library model, and only a small number of organizations have developed management approaches to push knowledge in computable form to frontline decisions; Learning Health Systems create a need for scalable computable knowledge management approaches; the ability to represent data science discoveries in computable form that are findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable is fundamental to spreading knowledge at scale.

Learning from implementation setbacks: identifying and responding to contextual challenges.
The authors addressed organizational learning about implementation context during setbacks to primary care redesign in an ambulatory system. They found that redesigned teams were not implemented as widely or rapidly as anticipated and did not deliver hoped-for gains in operational metrics; however, team redesign was leading to improvements in chronic care and prevention and eased provider burden. Redesign and system leaders engaged in more thorough organizational learning. Their responses to challenges helped to strengthen the redesign's prospects, improved the delivery system's position in its labor market, and helped the system prepare to meet emerging requirements for value-based care and population health.
