"The ACO model offers incentives for physicians to consolidate into healthcare networks, which facilitate care coordination and result in a more efficient, effective healthcare delivery system. However, organizations must be prudent in their approach to ACO formation; those considering a move to this model will benefit from a review of the guidelines, case studies and advice presented in this guide."
