What this research studies

This research aims to establish a Learning Health System (LHS) in New Jersey that focuses on improving healthcare delivery through innovative training and research. By integrating various resources and platforms, the project will enable researchers to conduct Patient Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) and Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) to enhance the quality and equity of care. The initiative will also train the next generation of scientists to ensure continuous improvement in health outcomes and patient-centered care across the state.
