For your home state: Florida
• Identify a CMS designated accountable care organization and summarize the organizational structure. ( Orlando health)
• For your selected accountable care organization:
o Identify the organization’s vision and core principles.
o Evaluate the organization’s approach to practice transformation and consumer engagement.
o Describe the interoperability of information among the providers and consumer stakeholders
o Summarize how the accountable care organization impacts the quality of healthcare for the designated population. What metrics are used and how does the ACO compare to other ACOs?
o Evaluate the specific accountable Care Organization’s financial saving
1.Use the link to the CMS database on ACO’s and choose an ACO with at least three years of data. (CMS link, view data and then search by state). Link:
https://data.cms.gov/medicare-shared-savings-program/accountable-care-organizations
https://www.orlandohealth.com/orlando-health-collaborative-care-aco ( this is the example I choose from the link )
2.The focus of the assignment is the selected ACO and not ACO’s in general. If you are quoting articles about generic things about ACOs, that is not the assignment.
3. You may have to select the different tabs on the selected ACO website or news reports to find the answers. (See my announcement file with what the information should look like).
