Boston Accountable Care Organization manages coordinated care for approximately 200,000 Medicaid, Medicare and commercially insured patients, many with complex medical and social needs. A data-driven focus on equity has driven measurable improvements, including closing a 6% colorectal cancer screening equity gap and increasing overall screening rates by nearly 10% through its Equity in Cancer initiative. The ACO has also improved behavioral health transitions, achieving more than a 10% increase in post-discharge follow-up rates, while advancing chronic disease management through targeted hypertension interventions. Led by executive director Michael Olsen and medical director Jason Worcester, MD, the ACO continues to integrate clinical care with social support to improve outcomes across its population.
