Overview

Members of the AHRQ evidence-based Care Transformation Support (ACTS) initiative Stakeholder Community have been working together under the ACTS COVID-19 Guidance to Action Collaborative to improve the development, dissemination and use of “living” COVID-19 guidance. This presentation from 7/1/20 provides an overview of the ACTS initiative and a Roadmap for producing a healthcare knowledge ecosystem that fosters learning health systems and realization of the quadruple aim.

This part of the Collaborative website is a learning community for Collaborative participants who are developing, implementing, and evaluating living CDS interventions focused on specific COVID-19 patient management issues. 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 that coordinates and accelerates various efforts focused on portions of the Knowledge Ecosystem proposed in the ACTS Roadmap:
