Assessing healthcare organizations' readiness to implement a learning health system: Protocol for questionnaire validation using a Delphi method
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: In the health sciences, it can take up to 17 years for 14% of research findings to be adopting in clinical practice. Adopting a learning health system (LHS) approach may help accelerate the transition of medico-administrative and clinical data to knowledge, knowledge to performance, and performance to data. However, little is currently known about whether healthcare organizations are both willing and able to adopt such an innovation. Therefore, the aim of this study is to generate validity evidence in support of a measure assessing healthcare organizations’ readiness to implement an LHS approach. Methods and Analysis: A three round Delphi method will be used to establish consensus on the relevance, clarity, and comprehensiveness of the LHS readiness questionnaire’s domains, subdomains, and items. The questionnaire has been developed based on a review of the literature. Participants with expertise in LHS across Canada and internationally will be purposively recruited using a modified Dillman approach, with opportunities for additional snowball sampling. Descriptive statistics will be calculated from all closed-ended Delphi survey responses. A conventional content analysis will be conducted on all open-ended responses. Ethics and Dissemination: Institutional Research Ethics Board approval has been obtained (AO3-E23-24B). The findings of this study will be disseminated in peer-reviewed publications, academic conferences, knowledge mobilization workshops, and through policy briefs and position papers.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
