The Delaware Valley ACO Story - The continuing evolution of an ACO

“Two things are clear. First, the implementation of MACRA, a law passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, will determine the future of ACOs. Second, clarity of Congressional purpose -- the creation of APMs -- is anything but clear in the details of implementation. There may yet be an industry backlash over this complexity that endangers the evolution of ACOs into APMs.”
- Michael L. Millenson, President, Health Quality Advisors, LLC.

"...there was a 20-point difference in how important administrators and physicians viewed 'achieving quality metrics set by your facility.'
% of Administrators said high/highest priority: 91.5%
% of Physicians said high/highest priority: 71.8%."
