High-Performing ACOs have one common attribute: Proactive Population Health Management
In 2017, the Health Care Transformation Task Force (HCTTF)—an industry consortium comprised of patients, payers, providers, and purchasers conducted a qualitative study to analyze elements of ACO success.
They discovered that High-Performing ACOs had a few things in common. Firstly, they developed custom methods for segmenting patient panels and prioritizing high-risk patients. Secondly, they incentivized continuous improvement through financial, educational, and data-sharing mechanisms.
Most ACOs still rely on legacy risk scores and generic cohorting methods that miss critical patient insights.
This whitepaper explains why traditional approaches around population health management and, specifically, risk stratification fall short and reveals proven frameworks high-performing ACOs use to truly understand population risk, guide targeted interventions, lower costs, and improve outcomes.
