The Office of Population Health (OPH) is committed to the systemic study and evaluation of UCSF Health patient populations and population health management interventions using a learning health system (LHS) approach. The National Academy of Medicine defines a LHS as “one in which knowledge generation is so embedded into the core of the practice of medicine that it is a natural outgrowth and product of the healthcare delivery process and leads to continual improvement in care.” OPH collaborates with faculty, staff and trainees at UCSF who share a commitment to a LHS approach. The OPH LHS team 1) systematically designs and evaluates OPH interventions, 2) produces generalizable knowledgeable that may be disseminated in scholarly products, and 3) balances pragmatism, feasibility, and scientific rigor in OPH’s work and goals.
