Even before CMS published its agenda for moving Medicare into value-based payment models like the accountable care organization (ACO), the number of public and private ACOs had exceeded 700, by a Leavitt Partners estimate.
Support for CMS's latest alternative payment offering is just one of the ACO metrics contained in 
2015 Healthcare Benchmarks: Accountable Care Organizations. HIN's fourth annual compendium of metrics on ACOs captures how ACOs are faring in an industry rapidly shifting away from fee for service to one that rewards quality, the patient and population experiences, and cost efficiencies.
