The Swiss Learning Health System (SLHS): A National Initiative to Support Evidence Uptake in Policy and Practice
Dr. Boes and Dr. Mantwill will provide an overview of the SLHS and its key features, as well as its capacity-building efforts to train young researchers in the field of learning health systems, and the development of a centralized metadata repository in support of creating a sufficient large evidence basis to support learning cycles in the Swiss health system. Further, they will discuss lessons learned from the past and the newest developments of the SLHS in light of a second funding phase supported by the Swiss government.
Promoting and supporting the uptake of evidence and evidence-informed decision-making in health-systems related policy and practice is a challenge. In Switzerland, the need to address this matter has been increasingly emphasized by different actors in the health system. In particular, the lack of comprehensive coordination efforts in the field of health services research, and subsequent knowledge translation activities, has been stressed.
In response, the Swiss Learning Health System (SLHS) was established as a nationwide project in 2017, currently involving ten academic partner institutions. One of the overarching objectives of the SLHS is to bridge research, policy, and practice by providing an infrastructure that supports learning cycles by: continuously identifying issues relevant to the Swiss health system, systemizing relevant evidence, presenting potential courses of action, and revising and reshaping responses.
Key features of learning cycles in the SLHS include the development of policy/evidence briefs that serve as a basis for stakeholder dialogues with actors from research, policy, and practice. Issues that are identified to be further pursued are monitored for potential implementation and eventually evaluated to inform new learning cycles and to support continuous learning within the system.

Data Standards and Learning Health Systems–Challenges and Opportunities
Learning Health Systems thrive with use of real-world data from electronic health record (EHR) systems in both observational and interventional research to generate real-world evidence. Standardized EHR data can enable the aggregation of data and the generation of real-world evidence that will inform care delivery and improve patient outcomes. Data standards can also increase the speed in which promising evidence-based interventions are disseminated and adopted into new settings. However, despite their great potential, data standards have proven to be difficult and costly to implement, and nationally standardized EHR data continues to elude us.

Reflections on Learning to Improve: Foundational Ideas, Observations from Practice, and Building a Field
Dr. Bryk’s talk describes a set of normative challenges that confront us, including ways to shift from pursuing the hot new idea as the silver bullet to continuously improving how core processes and systems in educational institutions work. It is a distinct form of inquiry that values basic research knowledge and rigorous evidence about new programs and interventions, but that also sees efforts aiming to solve problems of practice reliably and at scale as generating its own form of generalizable knowledge. It transforms the core improvement question from “What Works” into “What Works for Whom and under What Set of Context Conditions.”
