Workshop: Refining Research Challenges Underlying a National-Scale Learning Health System Anchored in a New Science of Cyber-Social Ecosystems

本次研讨会旨在评估发展和实施全国性学习卫生系统（LHS）的研究需求和机会。实现这样一个变革性的愿景是一项深刻的社会技术挑战，不仅需要多个不同利益相关者之间的合作，还需要一个新的跨学科的网络社会生态系统科学来解决LHS提出的无数新的科学研究挑战。该研讨会将于2015年1月5日至6日在第48届国际系统科学会议（HICSS-48）召开的跨学科综合研讨会上召开。将研讨会与本次会议结合在一起，将利用一个独特的机会，在广泛的科学界（包括信息技术、系统科学、医疗保健和其他非相关领域）中，发展对LHS发展所需的基础知识和网络社会生态系统的新跨学科科学的理解。预计该讲习班将对制定学习型卫生系统的研究议程产生重大影响。在HICSS-48会议上利用多学科专业知识将是推动这项工作和推进新科学的重要下一步。

This workshop is to assess the research needs and opportunities in the development and implementation of a national-scale Learning Health System (LHS). Realizing such a transformative vision represents a profound socio-technical challenge requiring not only collaboration among multiple and diverse stakeholders, but also a new cross-disciplinary science of cyber-social ecosystems to address the myriad novel scientific research challenges the LHS presents. The proposed workshop will be convened at a cross-disciplinary, integrative symposium on January 5-6, 2015 at the 48th International Conference on Systems Sciences (HICSS-48). Bringing together the workshop with this conference will leverage a unique opportunity to develop an understanding of the fundamental knowledge needed for the development of a LHS and the new cross-disciplinary science of cyber-social ecosystems within a broad scientific community, including those for information technology, systems science, healthcare and other non-related fields. The workshop is expected to have a significant impact on the development of a research agenda for a Learning Health System. Leveraging the multidisciplinary expertise at the HICSS-48 conference will be an important next step in moving this work forward and advancing a new science.
