Assessing healthcare organisations' readiness to implement a learning health system: protocol for questionnaire validation using a Delphi method.
Article in BMJ open, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionIn the health sciences, it can take up to 17 years for 14% of research findings to be adopted in clinical practice. Adopting a learning health system (LHS) approach may help accelerate the transition of medicoadministrative and clinical data to knowledge, knowledge to performance and performance to data. However, little is currently known about whether healthcare organisations are both willing and able to adopt such an innovation. Therefore, the aim of this study is to generate validity evidence in support of a measure assessing healthcare organisations' readiness to implement an LHS approach. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: A three-round Delphi method will be used to establish consensus on the relevance, clarity and comprehensiveness of the LHS readiness questionnaire's domains, subdomains and items. The questionnaire has been developed based on a review of the literature. Participants with expertise in LHS across Canada and internationally will be purposively recruited using a modified Dillman approach, with opportunities for additional snowball sampling. Descriptive statistics will be calculated from all closed-ended Delphi survey responses. A conventional content analysis will be conducted on all open-ended responses. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval has been obtained from the McGill University Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Institutional Review Board (AO3-E23-24B). The findings of this study will be disseminated in peer-reviewed publications, academic conferences, knowledge mobilisation workshops and through policy briefs and position papers.
