Ethics for a Learning Health Care System: The “Common Purpose” Framework (February 12, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59180 59180-14694666@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, February 12, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Department of Learning Health Sciences

There is increased interest among health care institutions to transitioning to become learning health systems. In this process, however, there are increased practical and moral challenges from using the traditional definitions of “research” vs “practice” to determine which activities within such systems require IRB review and other ethics oversight, and which do not. As health systems more deliberately integrate care delivery with ongoing data collection, a set of ethics commitments for this integrated approach must be articulated. This presentation will provide an example of an ethics framework for learning health care and underscore how also being guided by commitments to transparency, engagement, and accountability around the ongoing learning are also essential, ethically.

The LHS Collaboratory is co-sponsored by the Department of Learning Health Sciences, the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation and the Office of Research at the University of Michigan.

Healthier Together: Collaborative Networks of Patients, Clinicians and Researchers Working Together to Transform Care (March 19, 2019 12:00pm) https://events.umich.edu/event/59181 59181-14694667@events.umich.edu Event Begins: Tuesday, March 19, 2019 12:00pm
Location: Palmer Commons
Organized By: Department of Learning Health Sciences

Today’s health system fails to deliver the best possible outcomes. Research takes too long and costs too much, and opportunities to engage the participation and contribution by patients and families are not yet common. What if we could create a better care system by harnessing inherent motivation and collective intelligence of patients, clinicians and researchers? In every part of our lives, networks are having a profound effect. How could networked organizations accelerate progress towards Learning Health Systems? This talk will describe how several large-scale learning health system networks are eliminating the artificial barriers between clinical care, improvement and research while engaging all stakeholders as part of a single health system. The result is faster learning and better outcomes for large populations of patients.

The LHS Collaboratory is co-sponsored by the Department of Learning Health Sciences, the Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation and the Office of Research at the University of Michigan.
