ACOs are gaining momentum across the nation and the state of Florida. The Accountable Care approach to health-care delivery is varied but the overall aim is to provide financial incentives for coordinating and holistically managing care.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services have paved the way for ACOs with the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP). Medicare beneficiaries with chronic illnesses benefit from ACO care coordination efforts – less duplication of services and greater attention to medication and treatment plans – and hospital administrators in Florida are also eyeing the ACO goal of reduced readmission rates.
