Overview

The ICTR Learning Health System (LHS) Demonstration Project invites clinical faculty to work on projects that are a priority for the UW Health system and can be addressed using an informatics, data-driven workflow with a focus on health care outcomes. The goal is to demonstrate an implementation-focused and data-driven LHS that uses patient experiences and care information to iteratively inform decisions and interventions at the point of care. The projects should be pragmatic and an established, ongoing priority for the health system and not a novel intervention or PI-initiated research question.

To be considered eligible for the award, the project must include:

  • A clinical champion as the Principal Investigator
  • A detailed plan for rapid and effective implementation into clinical practice of a patient intervention
  • Pragmatic clinical trials are preferred, but quasi-experimental quality improvement projects are also encouraged

The successful grantee will use the results of this award to demonstrate a data-driven and collaborative Learning Health System that improves healthcare delivery and grows the LHS infrastructure in a sustainable manner.
