This case study introduces a new framework that combines the High-reliability Health Care and Learning Health Systems frameworks, describing several organizational efforts that utilized this framework at UC San Diego.

This tool will benefit those wanting to develop or explore the concept of Learning Communities: a group of peers who come together in a co-designed space to share their judgments and uncertainties about their practice and share ideas or experiences to improve collectively. This approach is rooted…

This tool presents an architectural framework(a high-level system model)grounded in the LHS literature. Applying this framework may help guide the development, implementation, and improvement of LHSs.

This tool describes how positive deviance analysis (learning from high-performance teams and organizations) can provide a useful framework for implementing and improving LHSs.

This tool presents RE-AIM and PRISM, an integrated framework for improving the adoption and implementation of evidence-based interventions in health and other settings. This tool may be helpful for the design or evaluation of LHSs.

This tool is a measure used to monitor and evaluate the completion of implementation activities, the length of time taken to complete activities, and the proportion of activities completed. The Stages of Implementation Completion (SIC) was developed to measure the progression through implementation…

This framework provides guidance on the development, evaluation, and implementation of complex interventions to improve health. The framework can help researchers by identifying key questions about complex interventions, and improving the design and implementation of research by including a variety…

This tool is an article that discusses outcomes for Implementation Research: Conceptual Distinctions, Measurement Challenges, and Research Agenda.

The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) is a tool that can guide the assessment of potential barriers and facilitators when planning for implementation or conducting an evaluation.

This tool is a white paper that addresses complexity science – basic concepts, its application, and its accomplishments in healthcare. The authors of the paper seek to dissect complexity science, its misconceptions and practical uses in healthcare.
