Training program to improve patient care through better research methods
Learning Health System training program: PROgRESS-- Patient/ pRactice Outcomes and Research in Effectiveness and Systems Science
This program is all about training scientists to find better ways to help patients and improve healthcare, so they can learn how to use effective strategies in real-life situations and make positive changes in health policies for everyone.

What this research studies
This program focuses on developing scientists who are skilled in integrating scientific discovery with patient care to improve healthcare outcomes. It emphasizes three key areas: understanding what strategies work best for patients, implementing these strategies effectively in practice, and influencing health policy to benefit communities. By training post-doctoral researchers in these areas, the program aims to foster collaboration and innovation in healthcare. Participants will engage in interdisciplinary training that prepares them to address real-world healthcare challenges.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are patients who are part of healthcare systems that are implementing new evidence-based practices.
Not a fit: Patients who are not engaged in healthcare systems or those receiving care outside of the program's focus may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved patient outcomes through more effective healthcare strategies and policies.
How similar studies have performed: Other research in learning healthcare systems has shown promise in improving patient outcomes through evidence-based practices.
