Mega ACO
“Five healthcare systems based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area last month announced the launch of a joint accountable care organization, comprised of 42 hospitals, 72 outpatient facilities, more than 1,300 primary care physicians and more than 4,100 specialists.”
OMG.
“Together, the systems aim to improve health outcomes, improve access to care, coordinate care in a clinically integrated network, securely share patient data and lower the cost of care.”
Year, right.
The name of this system will be called MEGA-ACO (Pronounced like Mega Asshole). Sorry, I made that up.
Yada, yada, yada. I can see the administrators rubbing their hands with glee on this one:
Mwahahahahahaha!!!!!!
