Established Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) often grapple with the dilemma of fully embracing risk or cautiously testing the waters. Regardless of whether one operates within the Medicare Shared Savings Program or ACO Reach, accommodating varying provider maturity levels and comfort with risk is crucial. By offering a spectrum of engagement options, providers can embark on their journey toward value-based care at a pace aligned with their tolerance and readiness. At CareNu, we understand that the evolution toward value-based care isn't one-size-fits-all. We walk alongside both patients and providers, meeting them at their respective comfort levels, and guiding them through each stage of their transformation. By prioritizing individualized support and fostering a culture of collaboration, we empower providers to navigate the complexities of ACO participation with confidence. Let's embrace inclusivity, evolution and partnership on the path toward better healthcare outcomes for all. #CareNuCares #CareNuIsNow

Recently, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has introduced the ACO Primary Care Flex Model to incentivize primary care providers in eligible Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) to offer innovative, team-based care to Medicare beneficiaries.

I have long been passionate about (and not short of opinions on) the topic of consolidation in healthcare. An important point that I probably do not recognize often enough in my own writing on the subject is that affiliating with a larger health system isn’t the only option for independent hospitals. In a new article, #ECGMC partner Andrew Bachrodt explores the market factors driving consolidation and what hospital leaders need to consider when contemplating a transaction. Well worth taking a couple of minutes to read. #mergersandacquisitions #healthsystems

Primary Care Provider Collaboratives - Navigating the Future of Healthcare   🏥 Primary Care Collaboratives – is this the successful vehicle needed to ensure primary care has a voice within the system? What benefits will they provide these organisations and ultimately the patients and community within their footprint? The NHS Confederation highlights the growing trend of primary care providers forming collaboratives to enhance the health and care system.    https://lnkd.in/eXAqGUcm   There is wide and varied historical evidence of provider collaborations and the forming of organisations that represent part or all of the primary care services. Do current collaboratives achieve these ambitions, what are the measurements of success and how do our communities and service users/patients recognise that their needs can be represented through these collaborative forms?   Some examples worth looking at include Provider Collaborative North East and North Cumbria NHS: https://lnkd.in/ei_SPP3E  #HealthcareInnovation #PrimaryCare #Collaboration #HealthTransformation #NHS

All too often, the people building healthcare solutions in the public sector have never seen a patient. The same goes for policymakers and the voices of real people with real health problems get lost. That’s why Andy Slavitt, General Partner of Town Hall Ventures, advocates for a collaborative approach to solving critical problems in healthcare - an approach that leverages the lived experiences of everyday Americans to inform innovation and policy. Andy has led many of the nation's most important healthcare initiatives, serving as President Obama's Head of Medicare and Medicaid and overseeing the turnaround, implementation, and defense of the Affordable Care Act. In this episode, Andy joins hosts Jessica Shepherd, MD, MBA, FACOG and Gautam Gulati, MD,MBA,MPH,CID to discuss the future of public-private partnerships to drive innovation and policy decision making. He explains why policy drives innovation in healthcare, exploring the obstacles to adopting effective policy on a national level and what prevents hospital systems from prioritizing prevention over treatment.
