Foley’s Transforming Health Care Through Accountable Care Organizations: A Critical Assessment White Paper thoroughly examines the opportunities and challenges that providers will face when moving toward an ACO model.
Our Health Care Industry Team attorneys discuss:
-
How ACOs are addressed in PPACA
- Organizational and structural options for ACOs
- Significant financial, payment, technological, and practical issues that providers will confront in moving toward ACO arrangements and away from fee-for-service payment models
- Principal legal issues that ACOs face and that must be addressed for ACOs to accomplish their intended goals
- Recommended actions that organizations should take now, proactively, to prepare to take advantage of ACO opportunities
Health care providers that are interested in adopting ACO models should understand the many challenges we discuss in our White Paper, along with the implementation strategies we share that can improve your chances of success. Despite the difficulties, ACOs hold the promise of delivering an economically sustainable health care delivery system to which all have access and that consistently delivers the best in evidence-based, cost-effective care.
