4.2 Institutionalizing learning

Learning processes need to be routinized and coordinated through processes of institutionalization — which is the establishment of rules and procedures conducive to learning at organization and cross-organizational levels. Figure 4.1 shows these two levels and their relation to the other topics we will be covering later in this module.

Figure 4.1 Institutionalization of learning

In the following video, you will get to explore examples of institutionalizing learning at both of these levels by looking at a set of mechanisms that can support institutionalization.

The Learning Health Systems report includes more examples of many of these mechanisms to institutionalize learning on pages 39-44.
