Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) • ACO Definition • Groups of doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers, who come together voluntarily to give coordinated high quality care to their Medicare patients. • First established with the Affordable Care Act in 2011 • First ACOs were formed in the April-July 2012 time period. • Pioneer Program (only 19 remain) – Full Risk Model which was too financially demanding for many participants. • Medicare Shared Savings Plan – Much more widely adopted, share 50% of cost savings earned if quality metrics are met. • Commercial ACO’s – Shared Savings Plans with commercial payers.
- 14. Collaborative Care of Florida (Orlando Health ACO) • 17,000 total covered Medicare lives • Program began in 2013 • 1st hospital in state of Florida with ACO • 2013 - $3M saved, 100% compliant for quality metric reporting. (Reporting only required 1st year) • 2014 - $5.3M saved, 17th overall in the country out of 330 in the U.S. for quality

Editor's Notes
- Fee For Service – Physicians being paid on the volume of procedures performed. Does not factor quality of service and patient satisfaction. Value Based Payments – Payment methods based on quality of care, patient satisfaction, and treating the ailment after a procedure/visit.
- The U.S. is currently spending 16% of their GDP just on health expenses.
- Crazy Quilt System – Many forms of payment for a patient to a provider – Gov’t (Medicare and Medicaid), Commercial (United, Aetna, Florida Blue), Self Pay (no insurance), Charity (no insurance, no means to pay). Canada, Sweden, U.K. – Already have some form where the government provides the only reimbursement for Health Care Services.
- There is no right answer. Fee-for-Service Healthcare promoted physicians to see as many patients as possible. This was very costly for the government as we were incentivizing physicians to see high quantity of patients and not incentivizing high quality of treatment. If a patient gets sick and is readmitted into the hospital under the old method, the government would shell out more money for that Medicare patient. Preventative Health Care/Wellness Programs – In the 1990’s and 2000’s, it was almost unheard of to go see a physician when you are not sick/injured. Managing a patient’s health before illness helps reduce costs on the Healthcare System. Nutrition – Baby Boomers were not a population that were influenced by healthy eating habits. With the growth of our knowledge on how some foods or harmful/helpful to our bodies in the Generation Y and Millenial generations, we are seeing a longer life expectancy than previous years. Incentivizing the management of a patient’s health instead of the number of patients seen is the next step. Some believe commercial insurance companies are to blame for the higher costs of healthcare, as some of their executives are making incredible sums of money for essentially being the middle-man between patient and hospital. Most commercial insurance companies are also looking to reduce costs that they incur for the patient through agreements with providers to share in cost savings. Premiums are going up due to the increased number of people now receiving healthcare coverage resulting from the Affordable Care Act. Those that are fully employed are paying for the patient with no insurance that shows up to the ED and doesn’t pay his/her bill and those that are struggling financially on Medicaid who cannot reimburse the hospital for the full cost of care.
- Behavioral Patters and Genetics determine 70% of the causes of premature death.
- From 2013 to 2014, FL improved their obesity ranking.
- $3.9 Trillion budget in 2015 submitted by Obama
- 30 Percent Medicare payments will be through Alternative Payment Models by end of 2016 50 Percent Medicare payments will be through “ “2018
- Goal is for more payments to be transferred to Categories 3 & 4.
- MU = Meaningful Use of an EMR system PQRS = Patient Quality Reporting Standards – Reporting of Quality Data of Your Practice. Will soon be judged on that Quality Data. Value Based Modifier – Differential payment to a physician based upon the quality of care vs. the cost of care for a time period.
- Readmission Program – Calculating which hospitals had excess readmissions based on their case mix (severity of patients seen), receive a penalty if too high. Value Based Purchasing – A 1.5% reduction is taken from all hospitals from their base reimbursement for DRGs. That money is then redistributed based on certain quality metric scores in relation to other hospitals. Hospital Acquired Conditions – Hospitals ranking in a poor percentile for Hospital Acquired Conditions will be receiving a reduction in payment.
