Building Accountable Care Organizations
Co-Sponsored by Aetna Inc. and Kaiser Permanente Institute for Health Policy
This meeting examined case studies of three organizations aspiring to operate as Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs): a physician Independent Practice Association, a community hospital with aligned medical group, and an integrated delivery system. Participants discussed opportunities and challenges for each model and public policies that would support ACO development.
