Florida ACO shares secrets to success


 

AT THE HOSPITAL READMISSION SUMMIT

ORLANDO – Primary Partners, a Clermont, Fla.–based Accountable Care Organization, is among 27 ACOs in the federal government’s shared savings program. The ACO collaborates with five hospitals in four Florida counties and includes more than 60 physicians.

At the recent World Congress Leadership Summit on Hospital Readmissions, the ACO’s CEO, a participating physician, and the CEO of a collaborating hospital share what they've learned in the process, and what advice they'd give to hospitalists and physicians who are part of an ACO or considering joining one.
