3.2 Factors that support health systems functioning and performance
This section will provide an overview of how learning can improve health systems functions by referring back to learning loops and means of learning and showing how they interact with one another. Learning from information, deliberations, and action each have unique and interconnected functions. These also can play important roles at single, double, and triple loops of learning as is summarized in the left half of Figure 3.1 below.
Figure 3.1. Changes and potential benefits from learning in health systems
In the following audio segment, you will get to explore examples of each kind of learning loop, the relevant means of learning that came into play, and how this learning resulted in changes and benefits for health systems and a range of actors working within them.
Watch below to find out more about the kinds of change and benefits of learning to health systems
The full Learning Health Systems report on pages 28-33 includes additional examples of how learning can lead to changes and benefits for health systems.
