Learning healthcare systems and rehabilitation: a scoping review protocol

Background: Healthcare literature has proposed that “learning organisations” (LO) or healthcare systems” (LHS) continuously generate and apply evidence, innovation, quality, value can provide better care. This is of to non-acute settings such as rehabilitation, which are complex, multi-dimensional multi-disciplinary in nature. Little known about how these frameworks have been applied rehabilitation settings. Objective inclusion criteria: The aim this scoping review systematically summarise the conceptualising operationalising LHS LO settings. Studies will be included define a LHS, describe an operating LHS/LO include translation research evidence generated from data into improvement within context. All study designs included. Methods: guidelines Joanna Briggs institute methodology for reviews used review. The search performed using three-step strategy: initial limited two databases identify relevant key words index terms. developed string adapted across following databases: OVID MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL Plus, APA PsycINFO COCHRANE Database Systematic Reviews. Reference lists selected sources data-hubs also searched. A draft extraction framework updated iteratively extract data. Data extracted described address question conceptualised operationalised context rehabilitation. Discussion Implications: There potential focused LHSs advance global services facilitate best practice. constructed sustained. first explore application guiding future development research.
