Integrated Delivery Through Rural ACO Model ACOs…groups of doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers coordinating high quality care for patients. Care coordination leading to service duplication prevention and error avoidance. Success equals high-quality care and efficient spending of health care dollars.
Benefits for Rural Health Communities • Lowering our cost of care, offsetting expected potential inpatient revenue losses due to reimbursement changes. • Achieving savings from CMS, through providing Medicare beneficiaries quality and patient satisfaction. • Gives all of us alternative options for survival other than becoming part of a larger established health system entity.
