Abstract

Introduction The COVID‐19 pandemic has demanded immediate response from healthcare systems around the world. The learning health system (LHS) was created with rapid uptake of the newest evidence in mind, making it essential in the face of a pandemic. The goal of this review is to gain knowledge on the initial impact of the LHS on addressing the COVID‐19 pandemic. Methods PubMed, Scopus and the Duke University library search tool were used to identify current literature regarding the intersection of the LHS and the COIVD‐19 pandemic. Articles were reviewed for their purpose, findings and relation to each component of the LHS. Results Twelve articles were included in the review. All stages of the LHS were addressed from this sample. Most articles addressed some component of interoperability. Articles that interpreted data unique to COVID‐19 and demonstrated specific tools and interventions were least common. Conclusions Gaps in interoperability are well known and unlikely to be solved in the coming months. Collaboration between health systems, researchers, governments and professional societies is needed to support a robust LHS which grants the ability to rapidly adapt to global emergencies.
