Workshop Agendas

Digital Infrastructure for the Learning Health System:
The Foundation for Continuous Improvement in Health and Health Care

An Institute of Medicine Workshop Series
Sponsored by the Office of the National Coordinator for
Health Information Technology

Series objectives

  1. Foster a shared understanding of the vision for the electronic infrastructure for continuous learning and quality-driven health and healthcare programs.
  2. Explore current capacity, approaches, incentives, and policies; and identify key technologic, organizational, policy, and implementation priorities.
  3. Discuss the characteristics of potentially disruptive, breakthrough developments.
  4. Consider strategy options and priorities for accelerating progress on the approach to the infrastructure, and for moving beyond to a more seamless learning enterprise.

Issues motivating the discussion

  • Rapid developments in information technology that substantially facilitate potential use of health data for knowledge generation, and expedited application of new knowledge for clinical care.
  • Policy initiatives that will lead in the near future to the electronic capture and storage of virtually all clinical data, as well as data from several related areas of health—health care, public health, clinical research—to realize the system’s full potential for individuals and populations.

  • Promising potential in federated/distributed approaches that allow data to remain local while still enabling querying and pooling of summary data across systems.
  • Ongoing innovation in search technologies with the potential to accelerate use of available data from multiple sources for new insights.
  • Meaningful use criteria and health reform provisions that provide starting points and incentives for the development of a learning system for quality improvement and population health, while underscoring the need to be strategic on issues and opportunities, while maintaining flexibility to accommodate breakthrough capacities.
  • Need for careful attention to limiting the burden for health data collection to the issues most important to patient care and knowledge generation.
  • Requirement for governance policies that foster the data utility for the common good, cultivate the trust fabric with the public and between data sharing entities, and accelerate collaborative progress.
  • Availability of standards for aggregation of large pools of data for purposes such as CER, biomarker validation, disease modeling, and improving research processes.

Three breakout groups: patient and public, technical issues, governance
Three breakout groups clustered according to participant expertise/interest with respect to technical advancement, governance and patient/public engagement. Each group will be tasked with using the preparatory group’s proposed categories and component issues as a starting point to develop and present the framework and most important relevant options for a national strategy. A 10- to 15-minute presentation by a representative of the relevant breakout group will lead off the corresponding plenary session.

processing models, vocabulary value sets, human–computer interaction, and security frameworks. Progress is dependent not only on identifying and engaging the specific elements within each set, but on achieving the right balance between the potential for facilitative standardization and the need for adaptive flexibility and innovation. The session will begin with a 10- to 15-minute presentation from a representative from the “Technical advancement and innovation” breakout group. Moderated discussion based on the prioritized questions and solutions presented will follow, including, if/as appropriate, brief input from resource people for the case studies identified.

Requirements for establishment of stewardship and governance
Stewardship and governance provisions are intimately related to the pace at which the developing technical capacity of the electronic infrastructure emerges and is applied for continuous improvement in health and health care. The trust and cooperative environment engendered in the existence, nature, stakeholder representation, and implementation of such provisions will determine the availability and impact of this electronic utility. The session will begin with a 10-to 15-minute presentation from a representative from the “Stewardship and governance” breakout group. Moderated discussion based on the prioritized questions and solutions presented will follow, including, if/as appropriate, brief input from resource people for the case studies identified.

Welcome

9:00am

Requirements for patient and public engagement
Where stakeholder acceptance is involved, it generally comes down to “What’s in it for me?” A precondition for progress in the e-health utility is the appreciation and acceptance—the understanding and demand for the delivery of the benefits, and trust and confidence related to safeguards against risks. The session will begin with a 10- to 15-minute presentation from a representative from the “Patient and public engagement” breakout group. Moderated discussion based on the prioritized questions and solutions presented will follow, including, if/as appropriate, brief input from resource people for the case studies identified.
