"A primary objective of ACOs is to be a test bed – to try out different
clinical, management, and financial models to find those that are the
most effective. This means that these models will be constantly
changing. Therefore, a critical component of success in IT and
analytical support will be the ‘agility’ of these teams to respond to
change, and to rapidly prototype and develop IT systems that can
implement these models without creating artificial limits on their
scope. While homegrown EHR solutions may not be effective or necessary,
financial systems will require significant flexibility to accommodate
the variety of payment models that an ACO may implement. Similarly,
‘one-size-fits-all’ systems for claims analytics and reporting may not
be sufficiently adaptable to the changing needs of these organizations.
Therefore, the agility of IT departments will be critical to ACO
success." Jonathan W. Pearce, CPA, FHFMA, Principal, Singletrack
