Developing a national learning health system

Yes / There is increasing recognition among policymakers that health systems are no longer fit for purpose. Our hospital-centred systems, originally created to deal with communicable disease epidemics, are now faced with the challenge of delivering care to the exponentially increasing number of people living with (typically multiple)≈non-communicable disorders (NCDs).
Global economic stagnation has also contributed to the pressures facing health systems – such that there is an imperative to develop new models of care.
