Sebelius says that ACOs don't need to include hospitals

In reaction to concerns that accountable care organizations (ACOs) may put private practice physicians out of business, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in an interview with MedPage Today that ACOs don’t have to include hospitals. Rather than being dominated by hospitals, ACOs can be provider driven. She says that she hopes as the ACO and healthcare reform movements in general gain traction, many myths about what ACOs are and aren’t will be dispelled.
