 This formative evaluation demonstrated that the COVID-19 Evidence Support Team, CEST, was a valued program and a promising learning health system, LHS, model for Saskatchewan. The program was seen as a valuable resource for decision makers, providing timely and accurate information on the pandemic. It also helped to improve coordination between agencies, increase awareness and understanding of the situation, and challenge misinformation. Recommendations include implementing the CEST model as a functional LHS in Saskatchewan, continuing to support the team's work, and developing a plan to ensure the sustainability of the model.
