Learning and Action Network
atom Alliance facilitates collaborative meetings and discussions among stakeholders through a Cardiac Learning and Action Network (LAN). Stakeholders include participating providers, practitioners, patients and/or their family members, patient advocates and partners. We work together to share information, resources, and strategies to achieve goals for target populations, including racial and ethnic minorities and dual eligible patients. Our action-oriented agendas help participants
- Understand successful interventions, data, or other cardiac health related items to support prevention of heart attacks and strokes;
- Discuss progress to date, including successful intervention implementation and operational strategies related to heart attack and stroke prevention;
- Identify and advance policy and system level changes that facilitate and promote equitable and better quality care for patients;
- Share knowledge and resources to promote engagement of patients and their families to improve health and the use of self-management tools, including the use of validated, evidence-based mobile technologies;
