Infographic: One ACO's Recipe for Shared Savings Success
In the June issue of The American Journal of Accountable Care®, authors described how their accountable care organization achieved impressive shared savings.
The Hackensack Physician—Hospital Alliance, an accountable care organization (ACO) in New Jersey, generated a substantial amount of shared savings from the Medicare Shared Savings Program in 2015. In a recent article published in The American Journal of Accountable Care®, ACO staff describe how these savings were calculated, why they were higher than in previous years, and how other organizations can achieve similar results.

For more on the ACO’s strategy for success with shared savings, see the infographic below.
