Overview

A learning community helping participants improve the 'data - to evidence - to guidance - to action - and back to data' learning health system cycle for COVID-19 (and beyond)

Learning Community Goals:

1. Cross-fertilize and accelerate current efforts to develop and deliver to care teams the latest COVID-19 evidence-based guidance - and tools to apply it;

2. Measurably improve care and outcomes for COVID-19 patients and care teams in limited settings for selected targets being addressed by Learning Community participants in ways that can be scaled to many other targets and settings;

3. Advance tools, standards, and collaborations that seed the digital knowledge platforms (from AHRQ/others), knowledge ecosystem, reference architecture, and public private partnerships called for in the ACTS Roadmap.

Background

Members of the AHRQ evidence-based Care Transformation Support (ACTS) initiative Stakeholder Community have been working together under the this 'ACTS COVID-19 Evidence to Guidance to Action Collaborative' to improve the development, dissemination and use of “living” COVID-19 guidance. This presentation from 711/117/20 provides an overview of the ACTS initiative and a its Roadmap for producing a healthcare knowledge ecosystem knowledge ecosystem that fosters learning health systems and realization of the quadruple aim.

This part of the Collaborative website is a learning community Learning Community for Collaborative participants who are developing, implementing, and evaluating living CDS interventions focused on specific COVID-19 patient management issues.  The The Collaborative goal is to continually enhance patient care related to the pandemic as the evidence base evolves, and to support those working along the COVID-19 'knowledge supply chain' (data-to evidence-to knowledge-to guidance-to action) to improve clinical guidance development and workflow integration for COVID-19 (and beyond) to make the knowledge supply chain more efficient and effective as outlined in the ACTS Roadmap.

More Details

This website section provides a framework and learning community for enhancing coordination among efforts within the ACTS COVID-19 Guidance-to-Action Collaborative. The goal is to drive progress toward interoperable digital knowledge platforms (DKP) from AHRQ and others for providing 'living CDS interventions' that support high-stakes patient and care team decisions and actions with current, evidence-based guidance and tools - and feeding back performance results to drive learning health systems that continually improve care processes and outcomes. The Collaborative's focus is improving the 'knowledge supply chain' and performance feedback loop in ways that readily scale from addressing the COVID-19 pandemic to other critical healthcare improvement imperatives such as preventive care, and acute and chronic disease management. See diagram below.

Pages in this section of the Collaborative website serve as a 'collaboration hub' to foster a Learning Community to coordinate and accelerate various efforts focused on portions of the Knowledge Ecosystem proposed in the ACTS Roadmap:

Collaboration/Coordination Overview

Evidence/Guidance Community of Practice

Living CDS/eCQM Community of Practice

CDS/eCQM Community of Practice

'Closing the Loop' Community of Practice

Collaborative Scaling

...

Of particular interest as a Learning Community result is insights (and ideally tools and collaborations) that could seed an AHRQ Digital Knowledge Platform and related components of the Knowledge Ecosystem called for in the ACTS Roadmap (see diagrams below). Technical components, for example, could include include integration engines, an advanced search engine, UI / Dashboard display visualization software, API software, etc. to enable users (e.g. developers and consumers of resources such as systematic reviews, clinical recommendations/guidance/guidelines, CDS interventions (including L4 localizations, etc.) to produce, access and maintain key resources from AHRQ and others better than is currently the case.
