ACOs—Nuts, Bolts and Some Lagniappe Too…

Louisiana HFMA Annual Institute
Lafayette Hilton
1521 West Pinhook Road

"Not later than January 1, 2012, the Secretary shall establish a shared savings program … that promotes accountability for a patient population and coordinates items and services under parts A and B and encourages investment in infrastructure and redesigned care processes for high quality and efficient service delivery."

Accountable Care Organizations (ACO) have the potential to transform for the healthcare industry.  Much debate exists as to whether or not ACOs are going to develop to a point where they in fact transform our fragmented and complicate healthcare delivery and payment systems. Health Care Director Barney Hebert will provide an overview of ACOs for the audience.  He will also take a look at where we are in the process of creation and what the future may look like.
