“Accountable Care Concepts for Providers”
Healthcare expenditures in the US totaled $2.5 trillion in 2009. Researchers estimate as much as 30 percent of that may have been due to overuse, underuse, misuse, and/or inefficiencies of healthcare services. The bottom line: delivery of health-related care may often be inappropriate or unnecessary. This paper will examine the concept of accountable care and its aims of better health, better care, and lower costs. It will discuss how a shift for providers from a fee-for-service payment model to one that rewards quality rather than quantity is possible through existing and new capabilities. Finally, it will explore some of the core concepts providers may adopt to collaborate in a major overhaul of the healthcare industry.
