Over 70 people participated in a summit at the 11/23 AMIA conference to launch an initiative to cross-fertilize and accelerate efforts aimed at care transformation and advancing learning health systems (LHSs - see Summit slides). Since this summit, the Accelerating Care Transformation (ACT) initiative has begun, led by initial Steering Committee members listed to the right.

ACT is taking steps to execute on recommendations in the Roadmap for National Action on Clinical Decision Support (presented to the Secretary of HHS in 2006), which were enhanced in the AHRQ evidence-based Care Transformation Support (ACTS) initiative funded by AHRQ from 2018-21. ACTS produced a detailed future vision, concept demonstration, and execution plan to advance target-focused care transformation and LHSs. 

As outlined in the draft charter, ACT is focusing initially on several high impact clinical conditions to cross-fertilize efforts in ways that advance stakeholder results within and across these conditions. For example, by providing and leveraging this emerging catalog (fed by this google form) where stakeholders are briefly describing their projects in ways that foster assembling these 'puzzle pieces' into the shared future vision. Many submissions have already been provided and we've begun taking steps to connect these puzzle pieces in mutually beneficial ways. For example, by planning a series of HL7 Connectathon events to demonstrate better LHS function for key targets.

ACT activities - including stakeholder-driven refinements to the charter and work on the HL7 Connectathons - will be driven by opportunities to cultivate mutual benefits among participants. Here is a 5 min Lightning Talk (begins at 5:05) from the 2024 MCBK Global meeting on ACT. For more information about ACT, contact Jerry Osheroff.
