1 Vermont ACO Shared Savings Program: Recommendations for Year 2 Quality Measures Green Mountain Care Board October 9, /9/2014 1

2 ACOs & SSPs Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are composed of and led by health care providers who agree to be accountable for the cost and quality of care for a defined population. These providers work together to coordinate care for their patients. Shared Savings Programs (SSPs) are payment reform initiatives developed by health care payers and offered to health care providers (including ACOs); the providers will share in savings realized as a result of improved care and health outcomes. Provider participation in an ACO is voluntary; ACO participation in a SSP is also voluntary. Medicare initiated SSPs in 2012, which built momentum for these programs. Vermont s Medicaid and Commercial SSPs started in /9/2014 2
