The accountable care organization (ACO) and other outcomes-based reform
models require a high degree of financial and clinical integration. ACOs
are designed to encourage providers to think of themselves as a group
with a defined patient population, care delivery goals, and performance
metrics. Many hospitals and health systems have identified becoming an
ACO as a significant part of their future vision and strategic
direction. Becoming an ACO will require organizations to shift their
focus from care delivery to care management, and will entail taking on
greater financial risk.
Despite a lack of clarity regarding the ACO pilot program for Medicare,
current legislative details suggest ACOs will need to meet the following
criteria:
- Agreement to become accountable
for the overall care for a designated set of Medicare beneficiaries.
- Agreement to a minimum 3-year
participation period.
- Establish formal management and
legal structures that would allow the ACO to provide health services
efficiently across the continuum of care.
- Include PCPs, specialists, and
others to be determined by the Secretary of Health and Human
Services (HHS).
- Define processes to promote
evidence-based medicine, report on quality and cost measures, and
coordinate care.
- Demonstrate that it meets
patient-centered criteria as determined by the HHS.
These standards require a degree of
integration that few healthcare delivery systems currently achieve. The
session will address the core competencies, critical success factors,
and key questions which organizations must address in order to chart
their course to achieving their ACO vision. The presenter will also
discuss the details of an ACO readiness action plan that includes a
review of the financial, operational, and strategic requirements for the
creation of an ACO. |
