This track will examine the foundational elements in a measurement-based value framework that is digitally enhanced and positively disruptive. The sessions will focus on defining the role of interoperability standards in knowledge discovery and how existing frameworks can advance our ideal of a high-value digital health environment.

Track 4: Real World Evidence, Digital Quality Measurements and the Virtuous Circle of the Learning Health System
This track will highlight the value of the digital Learning Health System (LHS) in accelerating knowledge to action through standardized, computable artifacts. Those artifacts can enable the scenario in which physicians and clinicians, care delivery systems, public health programs, public health agencies, clinical registries and academic research facilities routinely and securely provide data which is transformed into knowledge. That knowledge, in turn, can be redistributed in timely and actionable fashion to help care teams, patients, caregivers and others make informed health decisions.
