The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is soliciting nominations for its first Learning Action Network work group, which will focus on defining a set of alternative payment model terms and an approach for tracking progress. The work group will not set or make policy, nor make formal recommendations to CMS. Participation on the 10-12 member panel is open to candidates with one or more of the following: “deep and broad” knowledge of payment reform; experience designing APMs; experience designing approaches for measuring APM adoption; demonstrated ability to communicate complex health care concepts to the public; and experience working with multiple stakeholders with different perspectives on complex health system issues. Nominations will be accepted online through Friday, June 19.
