Treating data as an asset that delivers a competitive edge to a payer or provider is no longer an option, akin models, which strongly influence provider delivery arrangements and program costs, differ significantly along many dimensions important to beneficiaries and providers, besides, typically, incentives are paid on top of the standard fee-for-service compensation if the provider meets or exceeds certain pre-established metrics of performance.
Characteristics ACO
Submit program data to receive reporting and to track program growth and capacity over time, and few characteristics have been shown to systematically account for ACO performance.
Caring Value
Performance on quality measures is the key part of the criteria used for provider selection and inclusion in the network, simply put, an ACO is a group of providers that is responsible for the costs of caring for a population while hitting some basic quality metrics, consequently, with the shift to value-based payment, it is increasingly important to understand the components of an ACO.
Smooth Payer
Key component is determining how savings is calculated and distributed among the payer and various providers, to meet that end, practitioners are connected in a way that allows easy cooperation among them and smooth transfer of information back and forth.
