Learning Health System (LHS) in Canada: A National Environmental Scan, Engagement Process, and Strategic Assessment

The purpose of this working group will be to map and understand Learning Health System (LHS) activity across Canada, with particular attention to how initiatives have emerged organically, how they are distributed across research versus operational practice, single-instance projects vs ongoing services, and informatics-based vs other models.

The group will examine and synthesize reported impacts on patient and provider experience, engage leaders through regional roundtables, and develop a national synthesis through a working group to interpret patterns, variation, and shared themes, culminating in a peer-reviewed publication and companion knowledge products.

Join this working group

This initiative will create a coordinated, cross-jurisdictional picture of LHS activity in Canada. Email your interest in participating to chief@digitalhealthcanada.com by 5:00 p.m. ET. on Monday, February 23, 2026.
