	"There is no clearly defined role for hospitals in achieving population health management; instead, there is an opportunity for every hospital to define its role as the market evolves. Those who can lead, should. In many cases, these are larger hospital systems with large accountable care organizations (ACOs). Their strong reputations, established network of providers, information technology and care coordination infrastructures position them to weave clinical relationships that could impact the triple aim and, by extension, attract patients, payors and provider organizations across the continuum of care into value-based care partnerships that leverage the strengths of the collective." -Jim Giordano, Partner, Director, Population Health Management and Value-Based Care Services, Kurt Salmon, Atlanta, Ga.
