Cary Smith:
Incentives emerging for Value-based decisions. Evidence-based medicine. NCQA put out draft standards that may influence ACO management.
Accountable Care Organizations will be judged based on their performance.
A fascinating discussion ensued with the audience. A quick summary.... When patients have developed a condition measurements around the condition don't necessarily improve the outcome. The best option is to identify the condition and work out how to measure the pre-cursors to the condition and watch for it in order to take corrective action early. However, up to now the spending on lifestyle coaching has not paid off. I believe that the reason it has not paid off is that we have not worked out how to integrate the coaching in to the "Rhythm of life" of those individuals.
Is Medical Home a competitor to ACOs?
Companies appear to be ready to move forward with ACOs regardless of the outcome of the recent elections.
