Accelerating Accountable Care Through Rapid Learning: Real-World Tests and Learning Collaboratives in Action

This webinar will highlight the use of rapid learning approaches to quickly learn what works to accelerate accountable care, with a specific focus on the CMMI Rapid Cycle Innovation Program (RCIP) and the Accountable Care Learning Hub, part of the newly launched West Health and Duke-Margolis partnership. This session builds on themes introduced in the recent Health Affairs Forefront article, "Rapid Learning For Accountable Care Adoption," and will explore how these concepts are being operationalized in practice.

Key Topics Include:

• RCIP Program Overview: An introduction to CMMI’s RCIP, its design and purpose, the role of key stakeholders, and a preview of the current tests underway to advance the program’s goals.
• The Case for Rapid Learning: Key themes and takeaways from the Health Affairs Forefront paper, including why leveraging learning and evaluation methods presents real opportunities to solve challenges in accountable care.
• Vision for the Learning Hub: How the Accelerator’s Learning Hub is embedding learning into policy processes and operationalizing this approach to create sustainable impact.

This webinar is supported by a collaborative initiative between the Duke-Margolis Institute for Health Policy and West Health to advance and accelerate value-based care in the US health care system.
