ACO Overview
Implementation of accountable care organizations (ACOs) has continued to advance rapidly in the past year. The National ACO Summit will provide an unprecedented opportunity to learn from leaders of ongoing ACO efforts and identify strategies to overcome ACO implementation barriers. The Summit is bringing together executives from leading ACOs and commercial health plans, and senior policymakers, to provide unique and in-depth insights into ACO implementation and related health reform efforts. The Summit will explore how organizations can align public and private sector ACO initiatives, align quality improvement and cost reduction efforts, effectively participate in the Medicare Shared Savings Program, and learn from the experiences of organizations in the Pioneer ACO Model and in leading commercial accountable care arrangements.
What is an aCO? ACOs are groups of physicians, hospitals, and other providers that receive financial rewards for achieving continually advancing patient-focused quality targets and demonstrating reductions in overall spending growth for their defined patient population. ACOs can be organized in a number of ways, ranging from fully integrated delivery systems to networked models within which physicians in small office practices can work together to improve quality, coordinate care, and reduce costs. ACOs can also feature different payment incentives, ranging from “one-sided” shared savings within a fee-for-service environment to partial capitation arrangements with quality bonuses. In addition, ACOs are compatible with a range of other payment reforms, such as medical homes and bundled payments. ACOs can help ensure that these reforms lead to sustainable quality improvements and cost reductions. In sum, ACOs provide an ideal mechanism to transition from paying for volume and intensity to paying for value.
hOW is aCO implementatiOn prOCeeding aCrOss the COuntry? In October 2011, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) released the final rule for the Medicare Shared Savings Program. In December 2011, the CMS Innovation Center (CMMI) signed on with 32 organizations to participate in the Pioneer ACO program, which offers greater potential rewards to provider organizations that are willing to bear financial risk for both Medicare beneficiaries and commercially-insured patient populations. CMS has also proposed a number of pilot programs under the Innovation Center that will encourage collaboration among providers in more focused areas, including a bundled payment initiative to improve coordination within certain types of specialty care and an all-payer medical home demonstration to improve coordination in primary care.
Beyond Medicare ACO initiatives, interest and participation in accountable care reforms have been growing both in states and in the private sector. At least 27 states introduced bills referring to accountable care during the 2011 legislative session alone, and 12 states have already passed legislation intended to support the transition toward ACO-like models for either their Medicaid programs or state employees. In the private sector, all of the major private health plans have begun implementing the ACO model with over 200 organizations in every region of the country. In tandem with the Medicare Shared Savings Program, the Pioneer ACO Model, and other innovative programs in Medicare, these private sector efforts will be instrumental in moving ACO implementation forward as health care reform progresses.

Along with a robust set of ACO Learning Network resources, this year’s Network is comprised of four clinician-led ACO work groups developing actionable ACO implementation tools: The aCCOuntable Care payment strategies WOrk grOup is developing a decision making framework to assist provider organizations in selecting payment models that are best suited for achieving better quality care at a lower cost in their specific health care environment.

The addressing high-risk and vulnerable pOpulatiOns WOrk grOup is providing organizations with guidance regarding predictive modeling, care management methodologies and measuring the effectiveness and impact of their interventions.
The implementing perfOrmanCe measures WOrk grOup is developing a “glide path” that describes where ACOs should start given their current performance measurement capabilities and what ACOs at every stage can do to enhance measures implementation over time in an orderly and staged manner.
