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.
