The RLH – From Concept to Action
[By Staff Reporters]
According to Greene, Reid and Larson, clinicians and health systems are facing widespread challenges, including changes in care delivery, escalating health care costs, and the need to keep up with rapid scientific discovery.
Re-organizing U.S. health care and changing its practices to render better, more affordable care requires transformation in how health systems generate and apply knowledge. The “rapid-learning health system” is posited as a conceptual strategy to spur such transformation – leverages and recent developments in health information technology and a growing health data infrastructure to access and apply evidence in real time, while simultaneously drawing knowledge from real-world care-delivery processes to promote innovation and health system change on the basis of rigorous research.

It is a practical model that promotes bidirectional discovery and an open mind at the system level, resulting in willingness to make changes on the basis of evidence that is both scientifically sound and practice-based.
Assessment
Rapid learning must be valued as a health system property to realize its full potential for knowledge generation and application.

Intriguing ME-P
“To control costs, you want to promote prevention and use of the most cost-effective treatments and strategies. Why don’t we use cost-effective treatments and strategies? We don’t have any way of producing evidence-based quality care that can diffuse rapidly through the health care system.”
Nancy Barrand

What are rapid learning health care systems?
A rapid learning healthcare system (RLHS) is a system that merges clinical research and clinical care. It is designed to collect data during routine patient care and then utilize the data to rapidly generate evidence to improve patient care, provide information to patients and families, and track quality measures.
