Lately, I’ve been tweeting and posting a variety of topics regarding Accountable Care and ways to achieve this patient-centric care model for wishful organizations. While the current regulations may be ‘fuzzy’, proof does exist (or is starting to form) on successful practices to initially form and pave the way for this type of model. While there are what some call “critical success factors” for early, maturing and late stage models, many of the ideas (and ideals) are certainly new and foreign to healthcare and existing system infrastructure. There is no doubt that the industry is filled with a huge amount of brainpower with the ability to execute, but are organizations and the individuals that make up the organization willing to adapt?
