Becoming clinically integrated and/or functioning as an ACO is the last “stop” before truly delivering value and achieving the triple aim.  This session will focus on the key aspects necessary for success: evaluating the infrastructure needs to effectively manage a population, questions to ask when exploring new risk models with payers and organizational models and considerations for sharing risk with physicians.

This session will enable attendees to:

• Identify the requirements for successfully implementing clinical integrated networks and ACOs
• Determine possible organizational models that fit their organization
• Identify questions to consider when developing risk models
