Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Boston Medical Center, Boston HealthNet community health centers, and the BMC HealthNet Plan are part of Boston Accountable Care Organization (BACO), which provides care to certain MassHealth patients. Accountable care organizations (ACOs), of which BACO is one, are groups of doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers, who come together to give coordinated, high-quality care to their patients. The goal of coordinated care is to ensure that patients, especially the chronically ill, get the right care at the right time, while avoiding unnecessary duplication of services and preventing medical errors. By helping your doctors and primary care providers to communicate more closely with your other health care providers, ACOs can deliver that meets your individual needs and preferences. In addition to BACO, BMCHP has partnerships with three other provider organizations across Massachusetts to deliver health care services: Mercy Health Accountable Care, Southcoast Health Network, and Signature Healthcare Corporation.
