Steward Health Care Network, one of the top-performing Medicare Pioneer ACOs, saw its gross savings from participating in the program grow significantly from 2012 to 2013.
Critical to its growth and success in financial and quality improvement gains, has been its comprehensive care management programs across the care continuum, its quality improvement program and its data integration efforts.
During Medicare Pioneer ACO: Care Management, Quality Improvement and Data Integration Yields Substantial Performance Gains, a 45-minute webinar on June 24th at 1:30 p.m. Eastern, Kelly Clements, Pioneer Program Director, Steward Health Care Network, will share her organization's Pioneer ACO Program experience over the first three Pioneer performance years and how they are leveraging this experience with other risk-based contracts, including the newly announced CMS Next Generation ACO Model.
