The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute have made $40 million in awards to 11 institutions in nine states to fund the training of clinician and research scientists to conduct patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) within learning health systems.

\u201cThe researchers supported by this initiative will support efforts to bring healthcare systems, clinicians and patients fully into the process of developing the data needed to better support personalized medical decision-making,\u201d says Joe Selby, MD, executive director of PCORI. \u201cThe ultimate goal for PCORI and AHRQ is to bring rigorous science to produce generalizable evidence that improves the quality of care and the health of individuals, both within and beyond these centers of excellence.\u201d

The 11 Learning Health System Centers of Excellence receiving awards include:

\u201cLearning health systems are essential as the healthcare landscape becomes increasingly characterized by rich sources of information that are available in digital formats, programs, and applications,\u201d according to the agencies\u2019 announcement. \u201cThe new LHS Centers of Excellence funded under this initiative will produce the next generation of LHS researchers to conduct PCOR and implement the results to improve quality of care and patient outcomes.\u201d

According to PCORI\u2019s Selby, the awards will \u201chelp to grow the number of researchers with the knowledge and skill to learn from the real-world practice going on within their delivery systems and the real-world data being generated in ever-increasing quantity.\u201d

The five-year initiative, jointly funded by AHRQ and PCORI, will be managed by AHRQ.

\u201cLearning health systems aim to improve patient care through the use of real-time data and analytics,\u201d says Gopal Khanna, director of AHRQ, in a written statement. \u201cAHRQ is proud to collaborate with PCORI to develop a healthcare workforce trained to conduct research within a learning health system.\u201d

A partnership between Indiana University School of Medicine and the Regenstrief Institute received a $3.4 million award under the initiative and is among the 11 institutions selected to participate.

\u201cEvery patient-care encounter is an opportunity to learn and improve the way we care for others,\u201d says Peter Embi, MD, co-principal investigator and president and CEO of Regenstrief. \u201cAs healthcare becomes increasingly data-driven and a source of real-world evidence for improving care and quality, it is critical that we train experts who can create, study and sustain learning health systems.\u201d","saveContent":"Learning health systems are getting research funding to help ensure patient interactions that generate data are fully leveraged to create new evidence, resulting in improved clinical practices and outcomes.
