“The mixed results from the
Medicare ACO programs should not have much of an effect on medical
homes. Medical homes generally focus on managing patients from a primary
care perspective and do not actively provide care across the entire
spectrum of health care services. Because of the narrower focus of
medical homes, they can be successful and achieve their objectives while
working within an ACO that is not financially successful overall. They,
additionally, are more flexible and can operate independently of an ACO
and provide meaningful services under the umbrella of many different
organizational structures. The lack of consistent success among ACOs may
slow the accountable care movement, but it should not affect whether
medical homes realize success.”
- David B. Muhlestein, PhD JD. Director of Research. Leavitt Partners.
