ACOs & Health Care Reform
While many new requirements are involved, the new health care reform law has created business opportunities for hospitals, primary care networks and individual medical practitioners. As a full service benefits administration firm, ACA can help you capitalize on these opportunities by participating in one or more Accountable Care Organizations.
Electronic Health Records
In an ACO, at least 50% of the primary care physicians must have Electronic Health Record capabilities. The purpose is to provide for data sharing with the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and comply with strict adherence to medication protocols. It also helps providers place a greater emphasis on patient screenings.
