With the advent of health reform at national and local levels, providers are preparing to develop accountable care organizations (ACOs) in their communities to participate in the evolving payment and delivery system. Currently, ACOs are largely conceptual works in progress, but almost all will build on existing systems and structures. This program will focus on how existing capabilities and resources can potentially be deployed in support of ACO development and operations. The program will explore many of the key issues and options relevant to ACO formation in communities.

Learning Objectives

• Develop proposals for allocating global reimbursements to incentivize both quality and efficiency
• Outline best practices for creating quality/utilization review processes and mechanisms for enforcing them
• Understand key regulatory concerns every ACO must navigate
