ACO E-Module explains:

The Affordable Care Act drove the establishment of ACOs by pioneering their use in Medicare. As the U.S. healthcare system accelerates the shift to value-based care, Accountable Care Organizations, or ACOs, are a key focus of this shift.

In this module, you’ll learn about the role and importance of ACOs as we explore their expansion across Medicare, Commercial, and Medicaid.

The Learning Objectives for this module will allow you to:

• Describe what an ACO is and how these entities are shaping the U.S. healthcare system.
• Recognize the different types of ACOs and shared savings agreements they can participate in.
• Define what a ‘Narrow Network’ plan is and what role ACOs play in these types of health plans.
• Analyze and discuss the potential impact that ACOs are having on the healthcare system.

Accountable Care Organizations 2017 Update will rapidly update your knowledge of how ACOs are being integrated into organized customer models across insurers and care delivery systems. This detailed look at the ACO landscape will shape your perspective on how providers, payers, and patients are impacted by ACOs.
