MedStar Research and Cerner Partner to Create a Learning Health Network
It’s always exciting when something is the first. First publication, first award, first day of school. It’s particularly exciting when your entire organization is the first to do something!
This week, MedStar Health announced that we are the first healthcare system to join the brand new Cerner Learning Health Network. The Cerner Learning Health Network is an innovative, collaborative, platform that will be able to connect healthcare systems and research opportunities.
As part of the platform, it will provide investigators at MedStar an opportunity to participate in large clinical research studies, as we will be able to connect with other systems to expand the patient population. We will also be able to bring our research ideas and proposals to the network!
This collaboration is a great element of our academic health system and allows us to continue our work in moving research from bench to bedside to community. While we are the first network to join, Cerner hopes to add up to 40 more systems this year. As a founding member, MedStar will be part of the governance committee overseeing network activities and ensuring appropriate and credible studies are selected.
As technology advances and new tools are available, we at MedStar Health will be able to access them to support our research, keeping us at the forefront of research.
