ACA: Ready or not ...
Much has been said about the unexpectedly high interest in insurance exchanges, as evidenced by opening-day technical problems in many states. As issues get solved and more people enroll, other aspects of the Affordable Care Act are kicking into gear.
In last week’s Credentialing Resource Center Insider, I asked whether medical services professionals were involved in the accountable care organization (ACO) discussions that are now happening across the country. Thanks for your responses. This week’s question: Is your medical executive committee prepared for the heightened scrutiny and data demands that will be part of the ACO equation? You can answer via email, or start a CRC blog conversation. (To see more CRC blog posts, click here.)
A new book from HCPro, The Medical Executive Committee Manual, offers guidance on practitioner evaluation, peer review, leadership, physician employment and alignment, and much more. Click here for more information.
