Initiatives
Healthy Aging
The Healthy Aging Summit (hosted in September 2018) aimed to develop a roadmap and accelerate action to promote healthy aging of older adults in Oregon. The summit brought together representatives from health systems, community organizations, and the public to discuss healthy aging in Oregon. The valuable and collaborative work started at the summit continues today.
Drs. Guise and Savitz have been asked by the National Academy of Medicine to present on healthy aging multiple times. Products will be posted here!

Cochrane West-LHS Symposium
The October 2018 session convened health system and policy leaders with evidence producers and researchers to begin building a network for evidence-based decision-making locally, identify opportunities for collaboration, and find ways to share knowledge and disseminate evidence in Oregon. A roadmap was developed for future gatherings and more information can be found here.
Northwest Learning Health Systems Science Journal Club
The PACT-k12, in collaboration with AcademyHealth, is planning a learning health systems journal club, open to institutions in the northwest and across the country. The extensive infrastructure and resources provided by AcademyHealth will allow scholars from all national LHS K12 programs to network, share ideas, and discuss the latest research in learning health systems science.
