Alternative Payment Models Summer School

Healthcare systems are at a turning point. Changing demand, workforce shortages, and growing financial constraints are forcing policymakers and healthcare leaders to rethink how care is organized and paid for. Payment models play a crucial role in shaping incentives, collaboration, and long-term sustainability.

This five-day Summer School on Alternative Payment Models (APMs) offers a unique opportunity to explore how innovative payment strategies can better align financial incentives with the goals of high-quality, accessible and affordable care.

Together with leading experts and peers, participants will gain practical insights into the design and evaluation of payment reforms that support the transition towards future-proof healthcare systems.
