How Can Providers Create Successful Organizations for Accountable Care?
Accountable care organizations (ACOs) are a common way healthcare providers can transition from fee-for-service to value-based care delivery. In ACOs, providers come together to deliver quality coordinated care to patients while usually taking on some of the financial risk.
Providers must have the right mindset to care for patients and the capabilities to support their goals to establish a successful ACO, according to Rachit Thariani, chief administrative officer for the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center’s post-acute and home-based care division.
