NPC-QIC is a longitudinal learning community modeled after the Institute of Medicine learning healthcare system framework. 17 These networks are multisite collaborations that focus on both improvement and research and engage patients, families, clinicians, and researchers in working together to improve outcomes. They provide a resource for understanding variation in clinical care and opportunities to test changes in clinical practice to improve care. Large networks with registries provide the infrastructure to gather information on patients across treatment centers and to understand differences in care processes and clinical outcomes and to reduce unnecessary variation. 18–20 Learning networks may be especially useful in rare medical problems, such as complex CHD, where no one center is able to care for enough cases to learn about potential optimal practices. Regional and national networks and databases have also been established to better understand care of pediatric cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, neonatal management, and cystic fibrosis. 21–24
