RECORDED WEBINAR: Driving Shared Savings Through Regional Efficiency: Unlocking the MSSP ACO Benchmark with Wakely

Regional efficiency is the most influential factor in determining an MSSP ACO’s initial shared savings, yet most ACOs operate without understanding the providers that drive this efficiency. While CMS provides comparative data on membership, key benchmark variables like historical expenditures, risk scores and regional efficiency are only revealed once the performance year starts—months after ACO participant lists are finalized. This webinar with Wakely and Lightbeam will explain why regional efficiency is so important, how it is estimate it at the provider level, and how network optimization can give ACOs confidence in projecting shared savings. Leaders will gain practical strategies in network optimization, benchmarking, and scenario planning to strengthen renewal decisions and long-term sustainability.

Learning Objectives

• Understand how regional efficiency and benchmark adjustments shape MSSP shared savings and forecasting.
• Identify top and bottom performers in networks to guide renewal planning and outcomes.
• Apply scenario planning to anticipate ACO performance.
• Link operational and network decisions to financial impact with greater visibility.
