ACOs are like the weather – everyone is talking about them, but action on
them often remains hazy.
“ACOs: A California Progress Report,” has been constructed to take the
dialogue about accountable care organizations to the next level. On
Friday March 18, it will provide information on what has been
accomplished to date in building ACOs in the state, how they will
function and what potential roadblocks or difficulties may be on the
horizon.
Aside from discussing ACOs in real-time, this webinar will also take a
glimpse at their future. Will the banding of medical groups together to
form effective ACOs inadvertently lead to monopoly pricing? Will
high-paid specialists crucial to the operational success of ACOs (such
as orthopedic surgeons) resist buy-in? Answers to such questions will be
provided here.About the Integrated Healthcare Association
Based in Oakland, the IHA is a non-profit group that administers
regional and statewide programs and serves as an incubator for pilot
programs and projects. The IHA recently won a $2.9 million federal grant
to promote payment bundling for episodes of care – the operational
foundation of ACO activity – and will work with hospitals, health plans
and medical groups throughout the state to implement this crucial pilot
program.
About Polakoff Boland
Based in Berkeley, Polakoff Boland has consulted to some of the nation’s
most important hospitals, health plans and physician organizations. It
is currently involved in key ACO formation projects both in California,
the Midwest and the East Coast.
About The Camden Group
