Developing & Managing ACOs Ensuring Financial and Operational Success, and Incorporating an Innovative Medical Management Approach Accountable Care Organizations represent a critical component of healthcare reform and have been targeted by the White House for major expansion this year, with several new Medicare Shared Savings ACOs starting up this year alone. In addition to the Medicare ACOs, commercial payers are adapting the government model into a more flexible effort appealing to a wide range of providers facilitating increased access and care delivery to rural areas and innovations in health insurance exchanges. The main goal of ACOs is to offer a healthcare delivery system that achieves the triple aim of lowering cost, enhancing quality of care and improving outcomes. Under this new model we are moving from paying a fee-for-service to paying a fee-for-performance where performance involves multiple resources, partners and more. This annual event offers strategic advice on ACO design and implementation strategies, case studies on cutting-edge programs, information on how to select and implement the best technology for population management, outcome analysis, and more! The 2015 Congress on Accountable Care Organizations will examine specific strategies and action steps you can take to design and manage an ACO program. Don t miss this discussion-filled event filled with a variety of Accountable Care Organization leaders and team members who will share their up-to-date experience and enriching insights. The more you hear, the better prepared you and your team will be to profit and thrive in this new healthcare paradigm and build solid strategic programs.
