The system’s staff will increase communication, provide monthly updates on patients and keep a patient registry as part of the ACO. No details on the ACO’s payment model were reported.
UH is already heavily involved in the ACO space: It inked an accountable care deal with Cigna in November and has an employee ACO, a pediatric ACO and a Medicare ACO.
