Track 3: Accountable Care Organizations and Beyond: Moving Toward Value-Based Healthcare
On April 7th, 2011, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed new rules under the Affordable Care Act to help doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers better coordinate care for Medicare patients through Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). According to CMS “ACOs create incentives for health care providers to work together to treat an individual patient across care settings – including doctor’s offices, hospitals, and long-term care facilities.” Accountable Care Organizations are going to have a profound impact on the delivery of healthcare as it shifts the government’s reimbursement model from Fee for Service to one based on quality and efficiency. Sessions in this track will explore the significance of ACOs across the healthcare industry at large and how it will specifically effect your organization.
