LHSNet
The Patient-Centered Network of Learning Health Systems (LHSNet) was a clinical data research network funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI). Funded between 2015 and 2019, LHSNet built infrastructure to:
- Facilitate patient-centered outcomes research
- Support large pragmatic clinical trials and observational and interventional comparative effectiveness research studies embedded within health care systems
- Enable dissemination, implementation and evaluation of clinical and community efforts to improve population health
LHSNet touched 13 states and brought together diverse institutions, including academic medical centers, health care systems, a public health department and private health plans. Its clinical research was focused on patients living with heart failure, osteogenesis imperfecta and obesity.
As a partner in the National Patient-Centered Clinical Research Network (PCORnet), LHSNet participated in seven research studies, building and populating a common data model that incorporated more than 15 million patients.
