The LAN’s Executive Forum convenes health care leaders committed to shaping the strategic direction for value-based payment in the U.S.
Charged with advancing and accelerating APM adoption, the Executive Forum provides guidance on opportunities for strengthening incentives and capacity to accelerate the transition to two-sided risk models across markets. It is designed to influence and shape care delivery transformation necessary for the success of value-based health care and payment. Comprised of clinical and executive health care leaders, the Executive Forum’s primary focus is identifying the tools and strategies that prepare clinicians for success in delivering high-quality care that improves patient outcomes and reduces costs across a multi-payer environment.
