As our nation enters a new era of medical science that offers the real prospect of personalized health care, we will be confronted by an increasingly complex array of health care options and decisions. The Learning Healthcare System considers how health care is structured to develop and to apply evidence—from health profession training and infrastructure development to advances in research methodology, patient engagement, payment schemes, and measurement—and highlights opportunities for the creation of a sustainable learning health care system that gets the right care to people when they need it and then captures the results for improvement. This book will be of primary interest to hospital and insurance industry administrators, health care providers, those who train and educate health workers, researchers, and policymakers.

The Learning Healthcare System is the first in a series that will focus on issues important to improving the development and application of evidence in health care decision making. The Roundtable on Evidence-Based Medicine serves as a neutral venue for cooperative work among key stakeholders on several dimensions: to help transform the availability and use of the best evidence for the collaborative health care choices of each patient and provider; to drive the process of discovery as a natural outgrowth of patient care; and, ultimately, to ensure innovation, quality, safety, and value in health care.

"The Institute of Medicine's Roundtable on Evidence-Based Medicine provides a neutral venue for key stakeholders - patients, health providers, payers, employers, manufacturers, health information technology developers, researchers, and policy makers - to work cooperatively on innovative approaches to generating and applying evidence for more effective and efficient medical care. Participants seek the development of a learning healthcare system designed to foster the best healthcare choices of each patient and provider. They have set a goal that, by the year 2020, 90 percent of clinical decisions will be supported by accurate, timely, and up-to-date clinical information, and will reflect the best available evidence." "This is not currently the case. Today, far too often, care that is important is not delivered, and care that is delivered is not important. Despite per capita health expenditures much higher than any other nation - now more than $2 trillion - the United States ranks far down on the list of international comparisons on many basic measures of health status. As leaders in their fields, Roundtable members work with their colleagues to identify and discuss issues not being adequately addressed, the nature of the barriers and possible solutions, and the priorities for action."--BOOK JACKET
