Towards a learning system for pediatric outcomes: Harvesting meaning from evidence

Quality measurement in pediatrics is challenged by a system that lacks a fundamental data infrastructure for children's healthcare in general and in particular in cardiomyopathy. We suggest that the thoughtful application of mixed health services research methods can serve as powerful tools for applied research that supports a priori thinking, which in turn can drive both prospective studies and the analyses of retrospectively collected data within the schemas of strong quasi-experimental designs.
