Accountable Care Organizations: Value Metrics and Capital Formation

Autor Robert James Cimasi
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 iun 2013
An accountable care organization (ACO) is a healthcare organization characterized by a payment and care delivery model that seeks to tie provider reimbursements to quality metrics and reductions in the total cost of care for an assigned group of patients. Accountable Care Organizations: Value Metrics and Capital Formation explores the historical background and evolution of the ACO model as the basis for the development of the value metrics and capital formation analyses that are foundational to assessing the current efficacy and capacity for change.

The book examines the four pillars of value in the healthcare industry: regulatory, reimbursement, competition, and technology in addressing the value metrics of ACOs, including requirements for capital formation, financial feasibility, and economic returns. It focuses the discussion of non-monetary value on a review of aspects of population health within the context of such objectives as improved quality outcomes and access to care.
  • Explains why ACOs might be the cost-containment and quality improvement answer the industry has been looking for
  • Describes the circumstances and capital structures where ACOs represent a sound investment
  • Includes a foreword by Peter A. Pavarini, Esq.
The book examines the positive externalities of the ACO model, including results for third parties outside the basic construct of the ACO contracts shared savings payments. It also discusses the potential role and opportunities for consultants in assisting their provider clients in the consideration, development, implementation, and operation of an ACO.

Recenzii

"Accountable Care Organizations is the first comprehensive text on capital formation and value metrics for this new healthcare business model… I can think of no one more qualified to write it than Bob Cimasi at Health Capital Consultants ... it is destined to become a classic work … read, review, refer, and profit by this valuable resource."
—Dr. David Edward Marcinko, FACFAS MBA, Institute of Medical Business Advisors, Inc.


"The author offers various models and policy initiatives, some of which are in partial test, and updates on other initiatives at beginning stages of organization."
—Blue Heron Journal, March 2014
An excerpt from the foreword:
Although many authors, including the one writing this foreword, have previously attempted to explain the ACO concept in practical terms, virtually no one thought to thoroughly analyze the financial underpinnings of this model until Bob Cimasi decided to write this book. What an ambitious work it is! Even though most existing ACOs remain gestational or in their earliest years of operation, Mr. Cimasi and his associates at Health Capital Consultants have managed to assemble an authoritative body of information on this rapidly evolving subject and to present their findings in an easily understood manner.
Together with many of my colleagues in the American health law bar, I have long respected Bob Cimasi’s passion and talent for unraveling complex healthcare equations and objectively assigning value to all or part of a business or relationship. That was difficult enough to do in a traditional fee-for-service environment; it will be much harder as the nation transitions to shared savings, bundled payments and other new methods of value-based purchasing. With the publication of Accountable Care Organizations: Value Metrics and Capital Formation, readers will now have insight on the principles and methods Mr. Cimasi and his team of experts carefully use to appraise transactions within a changing healthcare payment and delivery system. This text is much more than a compilation of educational resources on a currently hot topic. Rather, it could become a seminal work relied upon by all stakeholders in a transformed healthcare marketplace. I cannot think of anyone more qualified than Bob Cimasi to take on such a daunting task.
It is always a privilege to be asked to read a manuscript before it becomes publicly available. This time, however, I found reading Accountable Care Organizations: Value Metrics and Capital Formation to be like looking through a window on a brave new world. I found myself asking: is this finally the way Americans will learn how to assure quality, efficiency and fairness in one of the most important aspects of their daily lives? I hope the readers of this book will be challenged to ask that same question as they seek to understand the ins and outs of ACOs.
