Evaluating the Implementation of Products to Help Learning Health Systems Use Findings from AHRQ Evidence Reports

OMB 0935-0251

AHRQ’s Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) Program has 20 years of experience in synthesizing research to inform evidence-based health care practice, delivery, policies, and research. The AHRQ EPC program is committed to partnering with organizations to make sure its evidence reports can be used in practice. Historically, most of its evidence reports have been used by clinical professional organizations to support the development of clinical practice guidelines or Federal agencies to inform their program planning and research priorities. To improve uptake and relevance of the AHRQ EPC’s evidence reports, specifically for health systems, AHRQ has funded the American Institutes for Research (AIR) to convene a panel of learning health systems (LHSs) to provide feedback to the AHRQ EPC program in developing and disseminating evidence reports that can be used to improve the quality and effectiveness of patient care. Even if an EPC evidence report topic addresses LHS-specific evidence needs, the density of the information in an evidence report may preclude its easy review by busy LHS leaders and decisionmakers. AHRQ understands that to facilitate use by LHSs, complex evidence reports must be translated into a format that promotes LHS evidence-based decision making and can be contextualized within each LHSs’ own system-generated evidence. Such translational products, for the purposes of this supporting statement, are referred to simply as “products”. The purpose of this information collection is to support a process evaluation of decisionmaking around, and use and implementation of, two such products into LHS decision processes, workflows, and clinical care. The evaluation has the following goals: 1. Document how LHSs prioritize filling evidence gaps, make decisions about using evidence, and implement tools to support and promote evidence use in clinical care. 2. Assess the contextual factors that may influence implementation success; associated implementation resources, barriers and facilitators; and satisfaction of LHS leaders and clinical staff. 3. Provide the AHRQ EPC program with necessary insights about the perspectives, needs, and preferences of LHS leaders and clinical staff as related to decisions and implementation of products into practice.
