Methods for Public Health Practice
Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are groups of healthcare providers that come together to give coordinated high-quality care to their patients. The main goal of ACOs is to ensure that patients receive the right care at the right time while avoiding unnecessary duplication of services and preventing medical errors. By improving coordination among providers, ACOs aim to enhance patient outcomes and reduce overall healthcare costs, aligning incentives among various stakeholders in the healthcare system.
