A whitepaper from Truven Health Analytics shares some insight for providers to predict the success of their accountable care organization pilots.
The paper, authored by Bob Kelley, senior vice president of healthcare analytics for Truven, specifically details four numbers that will predict the level of the pilot's financial success: attributed members, ACO member in-network and out-of-network utilization and payments, opportunities to reduce utilization and service unit costs, and the ACO's baseline and payer financial terms.
