Workshop Agendas
Digital Infrastructure for the Learning Health System:
The Foundation for Continuous Improvement in Health and Health Care
An Institute of Medicine Workshop Series
Sponsored by the Office of the National Coordinator for
Health Information Technology
Series objectives
1. Foster a shared understanding of the vision for the electronic
infrastructure for continuous learning and quality-driven health
and healthcare programs.
2. Explore current capacity, approaches, incentives, and policies;
and identify key technologic, organizational, policy, and
implementation priorities.
3. Discuss the characteristics of potentially disruptive, breakthrough
developments.
4. Consider strategy options and priorities for accelerating progress
on the approach to the infrastructure, and for moving beyond to
a more seamless learning enterprise.
Issues motivating the discussion
• Rapid developments in information technology that substantially
facilitate potential use of health data for knowledge generation,
and expedited application of new knowledge for clinical care.
• Policy initiatives that will lead in the near future to the electronic
capture and storage of virtually all clinical data, as well as
data from several related areas of health—health care, public
health, clinical research—to realize the system’s full potential for
individuals and populations.

286 DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE LEARNING HEALTH SYSTEM
• Promising potential in federated/distributed approaches that
allow data to remain local while still enabling querying and
pooling of summary data across systems.
• Ongoing innovation in search technologies with the potential to
accelerate use of available data from multiple sources for new
insights.
• Meaningful use criteria and health reform provisions that provide
starting points and incentives for the development of a learning
system for quality improvement and population health, while
underscoring the need to be strategic on issues and opportunities,
while maintaining flexibility to accommodate breakthrough
capacities.
• Need for careful attention to limiting the burden for health
data collection to the issues most important to patient care and
knowledge generation.
• Requirement for governance policies that foster the data utility
for the common good, cultivate the trust fabric with the public
and between data sharing entities, and accelerate collaborative
progress.
• Availability of standards for aggregation of large pools of
data for purposes such as CER, biomarker validation, disease
modeling, and improving research processes.

governance
Three breakout groups clustered according to participant
expertise/interest with respect to technical advancement,
governance and patient/public engagement. Each group will be
tasked with using the preparatory group’s proposed categories
and component issues as a starting point to develop and
present the framework and most important relevant options
for a national strategy. A 10- to 15-minute presentation by a
representative of the relevant breakout group will lead off the
corresponding plenary session.

processing models, vocabulary value sets, human–computer
interaction, and security frameworks. Progress is dependent
not only on identifying and engaging the specific elements
within each set, but on achieving the right balance between
the potential for facilitative standardization and the need for
adaptive flexibility and innovation. The session will begin with
a 10- to 15-minute presentation from a representative from
the “Technical advancement and innovation” breakout group.
Moderated discussion based on the prioritized questions and
solutions presented will follow, including, if/as appropriate,
brief input from resource people for the case studies identified.

Stewardship and governance provisions are intimately related
to the pace at which the developing technical capacity of
the electronic infrastructure emerges and is applied for
continuous improvement in health and health care. The trust
and cooperative environment engendered in the existence,
nature, stakeholder representation, and implementation of
such provisions will determine the availability and impact
of this electronic utility. The session will begin with a 10-
to 15-minute presentation from a representative from the
“Stewardship and governance” breakout group. Moderated
discussion based on the prioritized questions and solutions

Requirements for patient and public engagement
9:00am
Where stakeholder acceptance is involved, it generally comes
down to “What’s in it for me?” A precondition for progress
in the e-health utility is the appreciation and acceptance—the
understanding and demand for the delivery of the benefits, and
trust and confidence related to safeguards against risks. The
session will begin with a 10- to 15-minute presentation from
a representative from the “Patient and public engagement”
breakout group. Moderated discussion based on the prioritized
questions and solutions presented will follow, including, if/
as appropriate, brief input from resource people for the case
studies identified.
