Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 123 / Friday, June 26, 2015 / Notices
through the use of alternative payment
models. To this end, CMS launched the
Health Care Payment Learning and
Action Network, an effort to accelerate
the transition to alternative payment
models, identify best practices in their
implementation, collaborate with
payers, providers, consumers,
purchasers, and other stakeholders, and
monitor the adoption of value-based
alternative payment models across the
health care system. A system wide
transition to alternative payment models
will strengthen the ability of CMS to
implement existing models and design
new models that improve quality and
decrease costs for CMS beneficiaries.
The information collected from LAN
participants will be used by the CMS
Innovation Center to potentially inform
the design, selection, testing,
modification, and expansion of
innovative payment and service
delivery models in accordance with the
requirements of section 1115A, while
monitoring progress towards the
Secretary’s goal to increase the
percentage of payments tied to
alternative payment models across the
U.S. health care system. In addition, the
requested information will be made
publically available so that LAN
participants (payers, providers,
consumers, employers, state agencies,
and patients) can use the information to
inform decision making and better
understand market dynamics in relation
to alternative payment models. Form
