Abstract: The Learning Healthcare System (LHCS) refers to the close coupling of practice of clinical medicine with both the conduct of research and the translation of research into practice. This panel presents an outline of the TRANSFoRm project (www.transform-project.org), a large EU FP7 Integrated Project to develop a digital infrastructure for the LHCS in European Primary Care, and discussion contrasts this with similar work in the USA, considering the opportunities for international collaboration.
Four presentations will cover: The aims, requirements, and informatics approach of the TRANSFoRm project. The method adopted to access clinical data using a common clinical data information model The techniques developed to capture the provenance of the research process in conjunction with generated data. An ontology for Clinical Prediction Rules to provide integrated Decision Support for diagnosis using chest pain, abdominal pain and shortness of breath as exemplars. A discussion will provide an overview of work on the LHCS in the USA, with opportunities for collaboration and international standards development.
