Opposing Viewpoints in Context?
The Theory
In this first didactic video, Thomas Cassels, Executive Director of the Advisory Board Company’s Health Care Advisory Board, summarizes the forces driving accountable care, outlines the steps necessary for a hospital or health system to transition toward operating as an accountable care organization (ACO), and provides insight into the question of whether all providers must plan to become ACOs.
The Reality
The second video is a real world look at negotiation between a hospital administrator and a PCP over setting up an Accountable Care Organization [ACO].
