Accountable Care Organization

Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are collaborative groups of doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers who voluntarily come together to provide coordinated, high-quality care to their Medicare patients.

While ACOs have demonstrated potential in improving care coordination and reducing costs, they face several challenges:

  • Managing Financial Risk: Ensuring financial viability while taking on the risk associated with patient care.
  • Integrating Disparate Health Information Systems: Overcoming the fragmentation of data across various health IT systems.
  • Engaging Patients in Their Care: Encouraging patients to actively participate in their health management.
  • Despite these challenges, the evolving landscape of healthcare policies and technology presents significant opportunities for ACOs to transform healthcare delivery in the United States.
