Active Learning Health Networks

Learning health networks have grown to encompass 558 teams across 286 pediatric care organizations in 43 states and Washington, DC, and five countries, including Belgium, Canada, Qatar and the United Kingdom. Systematic implementation of quality improvement science and increasing engagement and partnership with patients and families have resulted in improved outcomes, such as increases in remission and physical functioning and decreases in premature births, serious safety events and mortality.
