Third Annual Accountable Care Web Summit
 
Overview
During 2012, over 150 ACOs participated in Medicare Shared Savings Initiatives, serving over 2.4 million Medicare beneficiaries, with many more accountable care organizations slated to serve Medicare during 2013. In the private health health plan population, accountable care arrangements are proliferating with companies like Aetna and Cigna building national accountable care networks through provider collaborations. The coming year brings much promise as well as potential pitfalls for stakeholders as accountable care arrangements mature.

The Third Annual Accountable Care Web Summit features a 90 minute webinar with three national experts from three industry leading organizations that will share their organizational experience, insights and strategic approaches with Accountable Care. Aetna's Charles D. Kennedy, MD, Chief Executive Officer of Accountable Care Solutions; and Cigna's Harriet P. Wallsh, RN, National Business Lead, Collaborative Solutions & Effectiveness, will each separately detail their respective health plan's national accountable care approach, strategies and collaborative initiatives with provider organizations.  Milliman's Rong Yi, PhD, Director, Risk Adjustment and Predictive Modeling Practice; Senior Consultant, will close by advising stakeholders how to avoid the mistakes of the 2010s, discussing the pitfalls of risk-based contracts, the importance of data and how organizations can strategize to be a successful ACO in 2013 and beyond.

The event also includes three downloadable pre-recorded sessions, with William DeMarco, President and CEO, Pendulum HealthCare Development Corporation providing his insights into key accountable care provider Issues for 2013; Sharon Beaty, MBA, FACMPE, Chief Executive Officer, Mid-State Health Center providing a case study of the North Country ACO & Mid State Health Center’s experience so far in the accountable care arena; and William A. MacBain, MPS, Senior Vice President, Gorman Health Group discussing the application of capitation and capitation-related concepts for Medicare ACOs.
