Launched in 2015, the Health Care Payment Learning & Action Network (LAN) was created to bring together partners in the private, public, and non-profit sectors to transform the nation’s health system to emphasize high quality, efficient, and affordable care via Alternative Payment Models (APMs). Since its inception, decision makers from these stakeholder groups have worked together through the LAN to align efforts, capture best practices, disseminate information, and apply lessons learned.

The LAN Summit has been instrumental in bringing physicians, payers, government leaders, professional associations, academic leaders, consultants, and patient advocacy representatives together for a full day of networking and robust discussions to foster collaboration and collective action. The goal remains to collaborate and act on strategies to accelerate the transition to the next frontier in payment model reform, reflected by successful APMs focusing on high quality, affordable care, engagement of patients, and reduced provider burden.
