Statement from PCPCC Chief Executive Officer, Marci Nielsen on Today’s Launch of HHS’s Learning Action Network

We commend President Barack Obama and U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell for supporting the transition to a health care system that rewards quality of care, not quantity of care. Today's launch of the Heath Care Payment Learning and Action Network marks a commitment to the investment in a better payment system that moves away from fee-for-service and embraces value-based reimbursement by tying 30 percent of payments to quality and value through alternative payment models by 2016 and 50 percent by 2018. As a leading advocate for advanced primary care and the patient-centered medical home, we look forward to working with the President and Secretary Burwell to build a health care system that is better, smarter, and healthier.
