Developing a Learning Health System for Primary Care in Thailand

Our intervention will be informed by the framework for designing LHSs developed by The Health Foundation and the updated framework for developing and evaluating complex evaluations commissioned by the UK Medical Research Council and National Institute for Health Research.The updated framework considers not only if an intervention is effective, but also whether the intervention is acceptable, implementable, cost-effective, scalable, and transferrable across contexts. The trial will encompass three of the four key components of complex intervention design: Development of an intervention Assessment of feasibility of the intervention, and Evaluation of the intervention. . We anticipate that a Plan Do Study Act (PDSA) cycle of quality improvement will be most suited to the Thai context as this approach is currently being promoted by the Thai Ministry of Public Health.
