CMS must obtain OMB approval for each data collection instrument under this Generic ICR by submitting a mini-supporting statement describing the purpose and protocol of each collection. This generic includes four types of ICs. GenICs of the first two types (registration and participant opinions and priorities) may be submitted to OMB at any time. However, before submitting clearance requests to OMB for GenICs for tracking the adoption of alternative payment systems and for tracking the characteristics of alternative payment models adopted, CMS has committed to first conducting pilot tests with less than 10 LAN participants and then, once the approaches for full-scale data collection are finalized, posting the details of those methods for a public for a 30 day comment period through the LAN website, blog, newsletter, and other communication mediums if needed, such as webinars and listening sessions.

On January 26, 2015 Secretary Burwell announced the ambitious goal to have 30% of Medicare FFS payments tied to alternative payment models (such as Pioneer ACOs or bundled payment arrangements) by the end of 2016, and 50% of payments by the end of 2018. To more effectively partner with stakeholders across the health care system and accelerate transformation through the use of alternative payment models, CMS launched the Health Care Payment Learning and Action Network (LAN) through the CMS Alliance to Modernize Healthcare (CAMH) Federally Funded Research and Development Center, operated by The MITRE Corporation. Through CAMH, the LAN will seek to accelerate the transition to Medicare and non-Medicare alternative payment models by collaborating with a broad array of health care delivery stakeholders, identifying best practices in their implementation, and monitoring the adoption of value-based alternative payment models across the U.S. health care system-to include the percentage of Medicare, Medicaid, and non-Medicare payments tied to (and U.S. lives covered by) alternative payment models that reward the quality of care delivered.
