Draft language for email blast to all registered participants (~2300)

Dear Colleague,

Thank you for registering to participate in the Health Care Payment Learning and Action Network. The kickoff meeting will be live streamed from Washington, DC on March 25, 2015. As part of this event, we would like to recognize organizations that publicly support alternative payment model goals for the U.S. health system as outlined in the Fact Sheet. Specifically, we would like to recognize organizations that:

• Support national alternative payment model goals for the U.S. health system that match or exceed the Medicare goals (30% alternative payment model penetration by 2016 and 50% by 2018),

• Agree that progress towards national goals should be measured, and

• Work with Network participants to establish standard definitions for alternative payment models.

And, within the next six months, will:

• Set organization-specific goals for alternative payment models and

• Participate in reporting of progress towards national alternative payment model goals.

If you have the authority to speak for your organization and your organization supports these principles, please respond to this email and answer the questions listed below. Additionally, if your organization has already set goals or intends to set goals for moving to alternative payment models in the near future, please let us know. To be recognized as a supporter, send your response to this email: [email protected].

Please respond by Monday, March 23, 2015 at 5:00pm ET.

Sincerely,

Darren A. DeWalt, MD, MPH
