The shift in healthcare to value-based programs and purchasing is creating new incentives for healthcare organizations to pursue and strengthen collaboration with community-based organizations (CBOs). Within this changing environment, accountable care organizations (ACOs) have emerged as a promising delivery and payment model that presents opportunities for CBOs to integrate their services with healthcare, and share in any financial savings. This web seminar will highlight a successful CBO-ACO partnership in Maine that resulted in better care, lower costs and opportunities for diversifying the CBO funding stream.
Presenters: Laurence (Larry) Gross, executive director of the Southern Maine Agency on Aging, and Elizabeth (Betsy) H. Johnson, president and CEO of MaineHealth Accountable Care Organization.
