Introduction:
This article shares insights from the Learning Health Systems Symposium, "Charting the Future of Saskatchewan Healthcare: Generating Value within our Health Systems."
Methods:
Patient Partners and over 100 professionals in the fields of research, healthcare, and policy joined the Saskatchewan Centre for Patient-Oriented Research (SCPOR) in Regina, Saskatchewan Canada, for a day filled with knowledge about learning health systems (LHSs). Attendees provided key insights on how to build provincial capacity in LHSs and thereby improve the health of people in Saskatchewan.
Results:
Key insights from the symposium included strengthening meaningful partnerships with patients and the community; establishing a shared vision for LHSs; harmonizing conflicting priorities; removing silos; recognizing the natural tensions between academia and the healthcare system; and building on and aligning infrastructure to support LHSs development.
Conclusion:
The LHSs symposium provided a way for health system leaders, Patient Partners, researchers, clinicians, and students to develop a common understanding of LHSs and envision a future for LHSs in Saskatchewan, Canada. Key next steps were to strengthen patient and community engagement, work collaboratively to establish a shared vision of LHSs, better understand existing assets to support LHSs, and identify opportunities to build future LHSs infrastructure.
