AMCHP Webinar: The ABCs of ACOs for MCH - May 30, 2013

AMCHP is proud to present The ABCs of ACOs for MCH.

With all eyes on the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), especially the insurance marketplace, Medicaid expansion, and health insurance reforms, states also are working diligently to transform the delivery of services. Among the many initiatives included in the ACA, provisions to establish accountable care organizations (ACOs) are significant because of the potential to help achieve the "IHI Triple Aim"-- improving patient experience of care, improving the health of populations, and reducing the per capita cost of health care. While significant focus is being placed on ACOs for the adult population the potential for pediatric populations, particularly children with special health care needs (CSHCN) remains unclear. The role of ACOs in population health and how they integrate with community-based systems of care, including public health agencies, on a range of issues, such as care coordination, is still unfolding. This webinar will highlight key considerations for maternal and child health populations, the role of public health in ACO implementation, and efforts to implement ACOs that have a focus on pediatric populations particularly CSHCN.
