Highlights
- •Emerging models for evidence ecosystems and learning health systems aim to solve well-recognized problems with getting evidence into policy and practice.
- •Advances in evidence-based medicine and digital transformation of health care offer great opportunities for overarching solutions.
- •A cyclical and fully integrated process, fully making use of trustworthy evidence from its production to documented increased value and reduced waste in health care and research, is needed.
- •Infrastructure to orchestrate, govern, and support joined-up actors is another requirement and perhaps insurmountable challenge.
