OVERVIEW
The most effective APMs for resiliency are those that deliver on quality and cost for a population, while also supporting financial stability, even during a major crisis in the healthcare system. HCP-LAN APM Framework Category 4 models are based on prospective, population-based payments, and promote resiliency by encouraging providers to deliver well-coordinated, high-quality, person-centered care. Expansion of the pathway to Category 4 models, as well as improving APM design in other ways – such as improving equity-focused design – will promote future resiliency.
