Accountable Care Organizations

Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are groups of doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers who come together voluntarily to provide coordinated, high-quality care to their Medicare patients. The goal of ACOs is to ensure that patients receive the right care at the right time, while avoiding unnecessary duplication of services and preventing medical errors. By focusing on value over volume, ACOs aim to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
