For gynecologists interested in learning more about accountable care organizations and what their practice’s role may be in such a model of care, a new resource is now available online. The Accountable Care Guide for Gynecologists (PDF) has been released and may be downloaded for free on the Toward Accountable Care (TAC) Consortium and Initiative website. The Accountable Care Guide for Obstetricians was published last year and also is available on the website.
This is just the latest addition to the growing library of resources aimed at helping various specialties understand accountable care. The North Carolina Medical Society (NCMS), has spearheaded these toolkits through TAC, as well as facilitated the NC ACO Collaborative, which brings together both existing and developing ACOs throughout the state along with the organizations that support them to discuss their challenges and successes. For more information about any of these projects, please contact Melanie Phelps at the NCMS, 919-833-3836.
