Participating in a physician-led accountable care organization can be an alternative for independent physicians who don’t want to consolidate with a hospital or health system.
Indeed, physician-led ACOs show promising results and in various studies outperform ACOs led by hospitals and other large medical organizations. They also can provide a way for practices to handle increasing government regulation and can help with the administrative burden that comes with quality data reporting under the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act. There’s also strength in numbers in pooling resources to pay for technology, such as electronic health records.
