Accountable care organizations (ACOs) aim to improve healthcare quality for patients while reducing costs. Even as healthcare providers have operated in an unstable industry for the past few years, ACO programs have continued to achieve shared savings and promote the shift to value-based care.

Immediately after CMS announced MSSP results on September 6, Advocate Aurora leaders issued a press releasenoting their results. |

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed for many the reality that vast inequities exist in the nation’s health care system. That can be particularly true for children and families, many of whom face barriers to access and unequal care outcomes as a result of many factors and social determinants of health. Finding a solution to make children’s health care more equitable for all requires a complex approach and strategic partnerships, said a group of pediatric health leaders and advocates in a recent webinar hosted by U.S. News & World Report.
