Creation of different types of medical care is encouraged by the rising need to optimize American health care system so that it can satisfy the needs of patients and be affordable. Experts foresee a quick development and implementation of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) system, as it has a great potential. ACOs are the networks of health care providers, where physicians can unite their efforts to improve the quality of services and lower the health care costs. Better quality and visible positive outcomes of provided care are considered the main goals of ACO model. The topic of this paper is main goals of ACOs model. Summers, Lisle, Ness, Birchfield Kennedy, and Muhlestein explore the issues related to the effectiveness of ACOs in their report “How Accountable Care Impacts the Way Consumers Receive Care” (2015). The main objective of this paper is to analyze the evidence of the ability of ACOs approach to provide better care and healthier outcomes presented by the authors of the report and determine if ACO approach will accomplish the goals. How Does the Report Demonstrate the Ability of ACOs Approach to Help Consumers Experience the Better Care and Healthier Outcomes? The authors of the report believe that ACOs approach will help consumers experience the better care and healthier outcomes and prove their argument by presenting the advantages of the ACO model. To support the argument, the authors begin the report with an extended explanation of what is an ACO. The authors emphasize that in an ACO, payments are focused on the outcome, such as value and quality of the provided care, not volume (Summers, Lisle, Ness, Birchfield Kennedy, & Muhlestein, 2015, p. 2). The main difference between ACOs and other models of care delivery is defined as the focus on delivering patient- and family-centered care. ACOs encourage partnerships with patients and their involvement in the process of practice improvement. The next part of the report explores the main benefits of ACOs for consumers. Improved care coordination is regarded as one of the main advantages of ACOs, which brings numerous benefits to the patients. Improved care coordination is aimed at fixing “the fragmented nature of the current health care system” (Summers et al., 2015, p. 3). It should bring together all parts of the health care delivery system (primary care, laboratories, urgent care, hospitals, etc.) and ensure they work in the most efficient way. Another privilege of ACOs indicated in the report is the maximized use of health information technology (HIT) tools, such as electronic health record (EHR). EHRs help to avoid duplicative procedures and present all necessary patient data to every specialist involved in the delivery of care. Another HIT tool, a patient portal, helps to have continuous access to medical information by both patients and health care providers. Different types of ACOs are also identified and explained to show how each of the types contributes to providing the better care. The final part of the report discusses how ACOs can help consumers experience the better care and healthier outcomes. The improvement of the way the patients receive care is the first point considered contributi
