Groups that included hospitals in the demonstration project did not fare well, economically.  There is little reason to believe that hospitals would treat an ACO as any thing more than a &quot;patient pipeline&quot;.  2. Physician involvement is voluntary.  Few physicians will voluntarily submit to the meaningful care management necessary for the ACO to be effective.  (I believe that they can be persuaded if the system is explained to them and they have a meaningful role in the care management pathways.)  3, Patient choice is bypassed in that CMS will &quot;assign&quot; them to the ACO with which their PCP is participating.  Although the only change the patient should see is improved quality, that is a hard sell to certain demographics.<br/>Bottomline: ACOs will have a rough road before they have a major impact on the quality and cost of care.</p>]]></description></item><item><title>jasa iklan comments on ICD10: The Impact on P4P, Global Care, Billing and HIEs</title><author>jasa iklan</author><pubDate>Tue, 20 Apr 2010 07:39:39 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.mcolblog.com/kcblog/2009/4/28/icd10-the-impact-on-p4p-global-care-billing-and-hies.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">147119:1351447:comment/8101477</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>thanks a lot dear, im very interesting for your article. im very impresing for this :)</p><p><a href="http://jasainternetmurah.com" title="jasa iklan" rel="nofollow">jasa iklan</a></p>]]></description></item><item><title>mikethopson comments on HealthChangeBulletin</title><author>mikethopson</author><pubDate>Mon, 05 Apr 2010 06:11:37 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.mcolblog.com/kcblog/2009/12/14/healthchangebulletin.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">147119:1351447:comment/7966664</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>Do not use RegCure</a>  until you read this!</p>]]></description></item></channel></rss>
