Description

Is the ACO strategy right for your organization? Accountable Care Organziations will help you understand the ACO framework and assess your readiness to embark on an ACO strategy. Although there is no definitive blueprint for building an ACO, there are many currently exsisting departments, clinical service lines, organizations, and systems that are already achieving the intended outcomes of an ACO. Explore their processes and structures and learn how pilot projects and other innovations are shaping the ACO delivery model. Use this knowledge to decide your organization's next move. This guidebook is designed to facilitate critical conversations and decisions at all stages of the ACO development journey. Each chapter includes takeaway points and tailored action steps for: (1) those organizations interested in exploring the ACO concept, (2) those organizations taking the first steps towards an ACO model, and (3) those organizations already moving full speed ahead. This book will help you answer these questions and more: # What does it take to become an ACO? # What tradeoffs must be evaluated by a healthcare provider that is considering an ACO strategy? # What steps and actions should our organization take, and how should we accomplish them? # What would an ACO business plan look like?
