A Learning Health and Care System

For Healthcare Organisations, Clinical Networks and Clinical Teams

Most of the elements of work I engage in are linked to helping organisations and networks to adopt a LHCS approach to their thinking and their working. This can be at high level, helping to develop a LHCS strategy, or it can be at an implementation level, working with teams and Clinical Networks to support them in adopting or creating the infrastructure and ways of working which foster a LHCS.

Data to Knowledge

Where are our data?
Can we access it in actionable form?
Do we need help to understand it?
How do we turn our data into information and knowledge?

Bringing together analysts, data scientists and clinician, moving away from transactional data requests towards collaborative conversations

Knowledge to Practice

How do we ensure the knowledge we have gained is turned into practice?
How do we redesign whole-system, whole lifespan pathways?
Do we need the tweaks of QI methodology, or do we need transformational change?
How do we ensure change at scale?
Do we need consensus, or do we need to mandate?

Deploying multidisciplinary, multiprofessional clinical networks to lead and consolidate transformative change.

Practice to Data

How do we know that our quality improvement is working?
How do we know the transformation is being deployed and is working?
How do we make sure we collect the data once, and it can then be re-used, agnostic of the IT 'system'?

Using the insights from D2K, and the practical considerations of K2P to design the next iteration of data collection tools and techniques to collect meaningful outcome and process measures.
