To characterize the experience of registered attendees of the Learning Health Systems (LHS) Collaborative Workshop.

The LHS Collaborative Workshop was held on May 22, 2024, at the Sanger Heart and Vascular Institute in Charlotte, North Carolina. The workshop was co-hosted by CCOS and by Wake Forest CTSI and Wake Forest University School of Medicine. Personnel from CTSA Program hubs and partnering institutions with active grants1 were eligible to attend.

The LHS Collaborative Workshop was meant to bring together CTSA program representatives, researchers, clinicians, healthcare innovators, policymakers, and other healthcare professionals to generate new ideas, meet new collaborators, and plan future actions.

On May 23, 2024, Collaborative Workshop registrants were emailed a unique online survey link via REDCap to complete the LHS Collaborative Workshop Post-Event Survey evaluation. Up to two follow-up reminder emails were sent to individuals who had not responded.

Survey questions addressed meeting objectives, logistics, and expectations, as well as satisfaction with the overall meeting. The survey question format included ratings and open-ended questions.

The goal of this evaluation was to characterize meeting attendee experiences to help in planning future meetings, as well as conform to the requirements for offering Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits for meeting attendees.

Overall, the response rate was high and the feedback received about the LHS Collaborative Workshop was positive with an overall median rating of 9.0 out of 10.

Most respondents either agreed or strongly agreed that the meeting’s two objectives were achieved. 92% of respondents (N= 54) agreed or strongly agreed that the first objective (to identify resources already in place within the CTSA Program) was met. 83% of respondents (N= 48) agreed or strongly agreed that the second meeting objective (to recognize the best business practices, models, and tools available, as well as how to access them) was also met.
