Health Management Tools for Accountable Care Organizations

Dear Healthcare Executive,

The Accountable Care Organization (ACO) model is dedicated to achieving
the Institute of Healthcare Improvement's 'Triple Aim:' improving population
health, enhancing the patient experience and slowing increases in
healthcare costs.

Health Management Tools for Accountable Care Organizations Health Management Tools for Accountable
Care Organizations
examines the building
blocks of population health management that
drive improvements in healthcare quality and
efficiency in ACOs — while positioning
healthcare organizations for core measure
improvement and increased reimbursement.

One such building block is an effective patient
registry, which provides usable, actionable
data — a true snapshot of the patient population
being served and for which the organization is accountable. A registry also
keeps organizations on track with recommended care and identifies ways
to improve outcomes.

In this 40-page resource, Dr. Gregory Spencer, chief medical officer of
Crystal Run Healthcare, demystifies registry use and shares patient
registry best practices, including the following:

Excellence in population health management can only be achieved through
experience. CMS Physician Group Practice participant Dartmouth-Hitchcock
has developed a competency in population health management that it deploys
in ongoing ACO pilots with Medicare and Cigna and in an ACO pilot in
development with Anthem/WellPoint.

In Health Management Tools for Accountable Care Organizations,
Dartmouth-Hitchcock senior medical director Dr. Barbara Walters shares how
the pilots have demonstrated the value of an ACO by achieving efficiency,
quality and cost targets.

She explains the following:

  • The shared savings and total cost of care payment methodology developed
    by Dartmouth and Cigna for commercial members attributed to Dartmouth;
  • The new roles and responsibilities within an ACO to efficiently manage
    the health of a population, including strategies for practicing at the
    top of license;
  • Developing a collaborative model of care that allocates resources to manage
    illness burdens, gaps in care and care plans of a defined patient population; and
  • Results from Dartmouth's ACO pilots with CMS and Cigna, including where
    Dartmouth has achieved better than market results for these programs.
