Through partnerships, we’ve refined a set of learning health system capabilities that we use to design, implement, and evaluate innovations that benefit Kaiser Permanente Washington patients, care teams, and communities.
Learning Health System Program
Leveraging research capabilities to address our health system’s most pressing priorities
We work in partnership to design, implement, and evaluate innovations in care
In our Learning Health System (LHS) Program, we leverage research expertise to help Kaiser Permanente Washington make timely, patient-centered decisions that are informed by science, driven by our own data, and designed to be sustainable.
We partner with researchers, health system leaders, care teams, and patients to find practical ways to improve health and health care.
LHS Program capabilities
Through these partnerships, we’ve refined a set of LHS capabilities that we use to design, implement, and evaluate innovations that benefit Kaiser Permanente Washington members, care teams, and communities.
We systematically leverage data and apply advanced analytics to develop and implement solutions that improve outcomes.
We use state-of-the-art methods to support implementation of high-priority initiatives, working alongside care teams to translate research into practice.
