Publisher John Wiley & Sons, Inc. has announced the launch of Learning Health Systems (LHS), a new open access journal published in collaboration with the University of Michigan.
Learning Health Systems will publish high-quality, peer-reviewed research. The journal represents a new cross-disciplinary science that promotes research, scholarship and dialogue designed to achieve continuous rapid improvement in health and healthcare. LHS will also transform organisational practice at all levels, from regional networks to national and multi-national systems.
LHS seeks to publish research reports, experience reports, briefs, and commentaries describing how the fields of computer, information, implementation and policy sciences, along with related fields can foster the creation of health systems that can be continuously studied and improved.
Dr. Charles P. Friedman will serve as the Editor-in-Chief of the journal. Dr. Friedman is the Josiah Macy Jr. Professor of Medical Education and Chair of the Department of Learning Health Sciences at the University of Michigan Medical School.
Along with Dr. Friedman, associate editors Dr. Brendan Delaney of Imperial College, London; Dr Jonathan Silverstein of NorthShore University Health System; and Dr. Kevin Sullivan of the University of Virginia will help support the new journal along with LHS' distinguished editorial board made up of 46 members from nine countries.
The journal is now accepting submissions.
