Abstract: The National Academy of Medicine's Future of Health Services Research report 1 called for researchers to better address the systemlevel priorities facing health-care organizations, patients, and communities to achieve meaningful impacts on population health outcomes.The report strongly recommended that future research initiatives support close partnerships with health-care organization leaders and the end-users they serve (e.g., patients, providers, and communities) to ensure their priorities are addressed.When aligned with health-care organization and end-user priorities, health services research has great potential to facilitate the translation of research into practice that supports population health goals (e.g., access, outcomes, equity, experience, and value) in health-care organizations and communities.Moreover, U.S. health-care organizations are increasingly embracing learning health systems 2-4 and the Quintuple Aim framework (improve access, outcomes, equity, experience, and value of care) to better align research with health-care organization goals.5,6 The National Academy of Medicine defined learning health systems (LHSs) as when "science, informatics, incentives, and culture are aligned to support continuous improvement, innovation, and seamlessly embed knowledge and best practices into research and care delivery.2 " An LHS is led by a learning community comprised of health-care organization leaders, investigators, end-users, and other affected groups who identify shared health priority goals and support continuous, standardized processes that curate multi-level data for ongoing research and quality improvement initiatives that support meeting
