ACO SUMMIT VISION STATEMENT

ACOs in both the public and private sector have continued to grow over the past several years, ushering in more experience and evidence on what is working and way to continue evolving accountable care models. With first year results from Pioneer ACOs and preliminary data on Medicare Shared Savings Program participant performance now available, CMS is contemplating possible policy changes and program adjustments for the next generation of Medicare ACOs. At the same time, insurers, plans and providers across the country continue to embrace innovative ACO concepts and models.

These developments are creating unique opportunities and challenges for accountable care efforts in both the public and private sectors. The Fifth Annual ACO Summit will explore issues raised by overlapping public and private accountable care initiative, highlighting some of the most pressing considerations for providers, payers, policymakers, and supporting partners in effectively implementing accountable care.
