N1 - Funding Information:
There is clear support from both State and Federal Government health departments, for the LHS, with financial support for a number of projects. The Victorian state government has invested in the LHS in the Victorian healthcare recovery initiative to improve care delivery as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic (14). The processes involved engaging community, clinical networks, state government, and health service priorities including new evidence-based models of Telehealth and virtual care and reducing low-value care. Best practice evidence was sourced in these fields, including the Digital Health Cooperative Research Centre resources and the Choosing Wisely and Evolve low-value care initiatives (15). Practice data are being sourced and analyses and implementation are underway. This work is being evaluated at a project and LHS level. State Government funding is supporting data integration systems, and a process led by Monash Partners and a grant through the Medical Research Future Fund is supporting the development of data infrastructure within the LHS: “Towards a National Data Management Platform supporting Australia’s Learning Health System.” This initiative will utilize the LHS

N2 - Our healthcare system faces a burgeoning aging population, rising complexity, and escalating costs. Around 10% of healthcare is harmful, and evidence is slow to implement. Innovation to deliver quality and sustainable health systems is vital, and the methods are challenging. The aim of this study is to describe the process and present a perspective on a coproduced Learning Health System framework. The development of the Framework was led by publicly funded, collaborative, Academic Health Research Translation Centres, with a mandate to integrate research into healthcare to deliver impact. The focus of the framework is “learning together for better health,” with coproduction involving leadership by an expert panel, a systematic review, qualitative research, a stakeholder workshop, and iterative online feedback. The coproduced framework incorporates evidence from stakeholders, from research, from data (practice to data and data to new knowledge), and from implementation, to take new knowledge to practice. This continuous learning approach aims to deliver evidence-based healthcare improvement and is currently being implemented and evaluated.
