Healthcare: Accountable Care Organizations’ Trajectory & Rethinking Value in Health Care

 

Date: Thursday, October 27, 2022

Time: 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM

Location: Zoom

For more than 15 years, many in the health care policy arena have focused on initiatives, such as Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs), that aim to promote greater value in health care. While oversimplified, value for these purposes is generally regarded as a balance of the quality and costs of care. Recently, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) began soliciting participants for a new ACO model: the Accountable Care Organization Realizing Equity, Access, and Community Health (ACO REACH). This discussion will explore the ACO REACH model, examine the outcomes from value-driven policy, and encourage health care leaders to rethink our concepts of value in health care.
