On January 31, 2012, Health Affairs, a peer-reviewed monthly journal, released a six page Health Policy Brief providing an update of where the US healthcare industry is in its rapid evolution towards accountable care type organizations.
The .pdf of the policy brief can be downloaded here.
The value of this paper is not limited to just the historical overview provided. The authors also give a general overview of some of the ongoing issues of the ACO model (small savings, anti-trust issues, enrollment, etc...).
Readers looking to for deep technical details of ACOs will be disappointed with this paper. However, those looking for a general overview of the current status of the ACO evolution will find this paper informative.
