Yesterday, Health & Human Services announced 89 new accountable care organizations (ACOs), doubling the number of Medicare ACOs.
With this in mind we’ve pulled together all of our ACO research into a single location. Here you go:
- Accountable care organizations: The new provider model
- Controlling healthcare costs the old, new way
- The Medicare Shared Savings Program and the Pioneer Accountable Care Organizations
- Building an accountable care information system
- The nurse’s role in accountable care
- Nuts and bolts of ACO financial and operational success
- Evidence-based guidelines: Essential building blocks for accountable care
- ACO gain/loss sharing
- Patient attribution in ACOs
- ACOs and medical professional liability
- Milliman’s announcement that it has been selected for a Society of Actuaries-sponsored ACO research study
