With
the January 2012 launch date for the CMS Shared Savings Program on the
horizon, early adopters of the accountable care organization (ACO)
model aren't waiting for clarity from CMS to benefit from ACO's
built-in business opportunities. Advises Jeffrey Ruggiero, Esq., legal
counsel to the Queens County Medical Society ACO: "Physicians really need to be
proactive about ACOs; they can’t afford to sit on the fence
and wait because at the point that there’s absolute clarity,
it’s probably too late to do anything, and options are
evaporating quickly."

Care Organizations: Metrics from Early ACO Adopters

targeted populations, payment models and much more from healthcare
companies already immersed in the ACO architecture.
PLUS,in
an interview , Greg Mertz, senior project director for

profit from the ACO model without waiting for CMS's final rule. He
describes the opportunities available on the commercial side, what
healthcare organizations can learn from ACOs already in operation, the
types of physicians to invite into the ACO, whether EHRs are a
requirement of a successful ACOs, what he sees as the most challenging
aspect of ACO development, and much more inciteful commentary.
