Physician Office Learning and Action Networks

A Learning and Action Network (LAN) is an improvement initiative that brings together healthcare professionals, patients and other stakeholders around an evidence-based agenda to achieve rapid, wide-scale improvement. The LAN model includes collaborative projects, online interactions, and peer-to-peer education to facilitate shared commitment, energy, and knowledge that allows participants to learn from each other as well as from the QIO.

Quality improvement works best when everyone teaches and everyone learns. LANs create an opportunity for communities to harness the knowledge, skills and abilities of their peers and vested partners.
