ACO Performance Enablement
MSSP (Medicare Shared Savings Program) ACO
The CMS MSSP ACO program has become a foundation for the nation’s continued transition to value-based care, offering a number of options for providers interested in value-based contracting for traditional Medicare beneficiaries.
OVERVIEW
Shared Savings Requires Repeatable, Measurable Operational Excellence
More than a decade since its launch, MSSP continues to serve as both an entry point for those new to value and a stalwart for value networks that are deep into their transformation journey.
Case Study
Maturing in Risk: Unlocking Value Through MSSP Participation
This study examines how ACOs taking on downside risk delivered higher gross shared savings rates than those in upside-only models, and also achieved higher quality scores.
From Application to Transformation
How We Can Help
Application Strategy and Support
Application, stand up and ongoing administration. The application process can seem daunting. We have the experience and know-how to guide applicants from start to finish. From network formation, governance design to eCQM reporting, we provide the full array of service partner capabilities.
Care Management Program Design and Implementation
Physician participants cannot deliver success on their own. Achieving the best performance requires collaboration with proactive and robust care management resources. We have the expertise to design and implement new programs or simply enhance an existing program.
State and Federal Programming Expertise: Helping You Win
Success in value-based care requires having the right information at the right time and available to the right people. Our proprietary ARC platform unifies disparate data sources into actionable workflows and a comprehensive view of utilization, financial and quality performance.
Integrated Care Models: Improve Health Outcomes
The establishment of strong connectivity between providers and contract level performance enhances accountability and reduces execution risk. By aligning operational objectives in clinical and non-clinical settings with the financial goals of the model, leaders can make informed decisions and allocate resources effectively.
