Abstract
Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are healthcare delivery systems that aim to coordinate and improve the quality of care for patients while reducing costs. ACOs bring together doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers to work as a team to care for a defined population of patients. The idea behind ACOs is to shift the focus from paying for each individual service provided to patients, known as fee-for-service, to paying for the overall care and well-being of patients.ACOs typically operate under a shared savings model and also encourages providers to use data and technology to better coordinate care and improve patient outcomes.ACOs can be physician-led organizations, hospital-led organizations, and collaborations between healthcare providers. The success of ACOs depends on many factors, including the level of cooperation and collaboration among healthcare providers, the quality of care provided, and the ability to effectively manage costs.Despite their potential benefits, ACOs also face challenges, including the difficulty of coordinating care across multiple healthcare providers, the need to invest in technology and data management systems, and the challenge of changing provider behavior.This study assessed a number of systemic reviews and journals to assess the impact of ACO’s on population health. ACO’s have shifted away from costly care patterns and thus helped many countries.
