A maturity grid assessment tool for learning networks.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The vision of learning healthcare systems (LHSs) is attractive as a more effective model for health care services, but achieving the vision is complex. There is limited literature describing the processes needed to construct such multicomponent systems or to assess development.

Methods

We used the concept of a capability maturity matrix to describe the maturation of necessary infrastructure and processes to create learning networks (LNs), multisite collaborative LHSs that use an actor-oriented network organizational architecture. We developed a network maturity grid (NMG) assessment tool by incorporating information from literature review, content theory from existing networks, and expert opinion to establish domains and components. We refined the maturity grid in
