The Biden administration needs to provide money upfront to help form accountable care organizations in rural areas and give more financial support to address health equity, a new report finds.
The National Association of ACOs (NAACOS) released a white paper Wednesday that outlines a series of recommendations to better position organizations to help address health equity, a key priority for the Biden administration.
“ACOs are already beginning to do the work of addressing [social determinants of health] to improve quality and control costs for the patients they serve,” according to the report. “However, they cannot be broadly effective or achieve desired outcomes without the proper funding and support.”
