Collaboration Drives Learning Health Sciences
Uniting experts to advance learning processes and environments.
Working Together for Better Results
Collaboration is at the heart of learning health sciences, a trans-disciplinary field of study that naturally convenes experts that share a common goal: to develop deeper understanding of learning processes and their supporting environments.
A variety of disciplines combine to create the rich intellectual tapestry of our work:
- Behavioral science
- Social and organizational science
- Cognitive science
- Information and computer science
- Industrial and systems engineering
- Other related fields
Collaborations
- As part of a Learning Health System Collaboratory, multidisciplinary researchers working to establish U-M as the academic epicenter for learning health systems.
- The Learning Health Systems Journal is an international, open access, peer-reviewed journal published by DLHS in collaboration with John Wiley & Sons. It includes computable knowledge publications, research reports, experience reports, technical reports, policy analyses, briefs and commentaries.
- The Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) Learning Community is a DLHS convened learning community across Washtenaw and Livingston Counties. OHCA developed HeartSafe Home, a community intervention to raise awareness and capacity to respond to sudden cardiac arrest occurring in the home across underserved minority communities in Washtenaw and Livingston counties.
