Here you can learn more about the learning cycles of the SLHS.
Project Overview
As a national platform in the field of health system and health services research, the Swiss Learning Health System (SLHS) fosters the dialogue between the various actors in the Swiss health system and thus aims to facilitate the flow of information at the level of policy, research and practice. This enables the development and continuous integration of evidence-informed solutions to challenges in the health system. It seeks to link all stakeholders - patients, providers, insurers, researchers and policy-makers. The goal is to strengthen the Swiss health system, to improve the health of the population, and ultimately to achieve better value for money in healthcare.
The SLHS bridges the gap between research, policy and practice. It promotes learning cycles in the Swiss health system, strengthens research capacity, and aims to provide information that can support learning cycles.

Health System Information
The SLHS aims to establish reporting standards for health information, store health related data in a data warehouse and establish a Health System Lab that provides the technologies to test new theories and policy interventions.
Vision, Mission and Values
The vision of the SLHS is a health system that responds to current and future health needs, integrates the best research evidence into services, programs and policies, and enables learning processes on all levels of the system.
The mission of the SLHS is to support and engage decision-makers in finding and using the best evidence available with the ultimate goal of strengthening the health system along the continuum of care.
