Why Games?

Research from the last decade has shown that, in the right context, games can provide an effective and engaging medium that allows us to explore personal identity, actively participate in learningbuild social connections and take part in problem solving and decision making in a “safe-fail” space.

Well-designed games can produce positive outcomes by tapping into our intrinsic motivations and positive emotions.

The Characteristics of a Continuously Learning Health Care System...

Science and Informatics

Real-time access to knowledge—A learning health care system continuously and reliably captures, curates, and delivers the best available evidence to guide, support, tailor, and improve clinical decision making and care safety and quality.

Digital capture of the care experience— A learning health care system captures the care experience on digital platforms for real-time generation and application of knowledge for care improvement. 

Patient-Clinician Partnerships



Incentives aligned for value— A learning health care system has incentives actively aligned to encourage continuous improvement, identify and reduce waste, and reward high-value care.

Full transparency— A learning health care system systematically monitors the safety, quality, processes, prices, costs, and outcomes of care, and makes information available for care improvement and informed choices and decision making by clinicians, patients, and their families.

Continuous Learning Culture

Leadership-instilled culture of learning— A learning health care system is stewarded by leadership committed to a culture of teamwork, collaboration, and adaptability in support of continuous learning as a core aim.

Supportive system competencies— A learning health care system constantly refines complex care operations and processes through ongoing team training and skill building, systems analysis and information development, and creation of the feedback loops for continuous learning and system improvement.

Can we game our way to a learning health care system?

Yes, Yes, Yes!

Your parents may have tried to kick you off your Super Nintendo just about every time you sat down in front of it because they were concerned about how it might affect your long-term health. Plenty of studies have shown that games that don't require a lot of physical movement can have an adverse effect on children as they grow older. But perhaps counter-intuitively, there have also been several studies touting the health benefits of gaming.

1. Video games are therapeutic for children with chronic illnesses

2. Video games improve preschoolers' motor skills

3. Video games reduce stress and depression

4. Video games provide pain relief

5. Video games can improve your vision
