Making the Case

Abstract

This chapter introduces Learning Health Systems (LHS) and the impact of data science on such systems. It also examines the necessary properties of data used in LHS and identifies patients who may benefit from a transition to palliative care. Finally, it examines the way LHS can be used to identify racial and social disparities in access to palliative care.
