PURPOSE

AAHC President’s Councils aim to advance thought leadership, foster sharing of best practices, and catalyze the diffusion of innovation.

Convened in 2022, the AAHC President’s Council on the Learning Health System focuses on concerns at the level of the most senior leaders of academic health centers, such as delineating the leadership role of the academic health center in establishing and maintaining a learning health system, determining what questions a top leader should ask their direct reports to track the progress of a learning health system, and delineating the benefits and risks associated with a learning health system for an academic health center.

The members of the Council meet via various forums throughout the year to examine learning health systems at academic health centers and to develop resources that may include:

• An inventory of innovative learning health system models;
• A key considerations document to guide leadership in tracking the progress of a learning health system;
• An interactive and engaging session for members at the AAHC Annual Meeting;
• A curated and annotated collection of relevant key readings; and
• Other materials as deemed important by the Council.
