Patients outside the age range of 0-11 years or those not receiving care within the Advocate Health system may not benefit from this research.

What this research studies

This research investigates how large integrated health systems can improve healthcare delivery and reduce health disparities for children aged 0-11 years. By utilizing common informatics platforms, the study aims to assess the effectiveness of new therapies and evidence-based practices in real-world settings. The Wake Forest Clinical and Translational Science Institute will collaborate with Advocate Health to develop and implement innovative care models that address social determinants of health. The goal is to create a Learning Health System that continuously improves patient outcomes through data-driven approaches.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved healthcare delivery and better health outcomes for children in underserved communities.

How similar studies have gone: Other research has shown success in using integrated health systems to improve patient outcomes, making this approach both promising and tested.
