Five Key Accountable Care Organization Enablers

How to put these enablers in place in a range of health care settings

    Acquire an understanding of new ACO legislation
    Gain new insight on how to move to an integrated care model
    Considerations for ongoing performance measurement
    Understand the value of clinical information across the health ecosystem

A combination of consumer frustration, escalating health care costs, difficult economic conditions, and Health Care Reform is driving momentum for payers, hospitals, and physicians to develop new organizational models, new payment structures, and new types of collaboration as a way to reduce cost and improve quality of care. In the wake of these dynamics, many industry players are exploring the option of becoming an accountable care organization (ACO). While the planning and strategy considerations are formidable, many payers and providers are interesting in gaining a deeper understanding of how to get there from here. How can I build a sustainable ACO, at my own pace, without unduly compromising my current business model?

The session will also provide an update on the latest ACO legislation and how the regulations should help guide the planning of an ACO. The session also covers how organizations can put these enablers in place in a range of health care settings.

The speaker will define five key ACO enablers that also are important tools for success in any future health care environment:

New measurement tools that drive accountability and performance metrics
Clinical integration
Payment reform
Governance strategies
Enabling technology infrastructure
