"Very few provider systems have the requisite leadership,
infrastructure, and risk management experience to pursue full-fledged
ACO designation by CMS. However, many hospitals and integrated delivery
systems are now focusing on accountable care arrangements and
collaborative partnerships with health plans based on many of the same
principles espoused in the CMS guidelines." Peter Boland, PhD, Managing
Partner, Polakoff Boland |
