In ‘Pioneers Take Arrows While Settlers’ Get the Land’ I reported in a ‘just the facts ma’am’ fashion the developing narrative as proferred by Modern Healthcare, CMS, and the AMGA as to whether this was to be seen as good news or bad news.
Recently the witty industry veteran and futurist Ian Morrison weighed in via ‘Why Some ACO Pioneers Turned Back‘, as did Oliver Wyman via ‘The Year of the Pioneers’ and even the health policy braintrust, aka the ‘…aw shucks, we just really want to help Obamacare out’ cheerleading squad at the American Enterprise Institute weighed in via ‘Reforming Medicare integrated care: An alternative to the Obama administration’s accountable care organizations.‘ Whoa can you say bandwidth consumption?
Indeed, rather than parse out each, I will address them separately via individual consideration. I just wanted to get them on the blog before more time passed.
I might add that as far back at June of 2012 at the jointly sponsored CAPG (California Association of Physician Groups) and IHA (Integrated Healthcare Association) ACO Congress word on the streeet had it ‘all was not well in Pioneer land’. So fresh as some of these insights and realization may claim to be, some of the more chronic challenges have been on the record for quite some time.
You might enjoy the reading ‘From ‘Unicorns to Multicorns” ACOs Morphing Below Radar’ which followed the ACO Congress.
As some say….
