NEHI Summit Explores Innovations In the Emerging ACO Landscape
The opportunities – and the challenges – presented by the rapid movement towards Accountable Care Organizations were the subject of a recent NEHI summit that drew perspectives from across health care:
“I think ACOs have a whole lot of opportunity to improve the patient experience.” Amy Whitcomb Slemmer, Executive Director, Health Care for All
“This new model has changed the conversation. We now have information that lets us understand total medical expense.” Dr. Justine Carr, CMO, Steward Health Care System
“The ACO model has promise in terms of providing better feedback data along the whole continuum of care.”
Kathleen Buto, VP Global Health Policy, Johnson & Johnson“In an ACO environment, how you use resources is something that people need to be held accountable for.”
Dr. Gene Lindsey, President and CEO, Atrius Health
