ACOs To Cover 130 Million By 2017

July 30, 2014

Parks Associates predicts more than 130 million patients will receive care from an accountable care organization by 2017.

ACO participation has nearly quadrupled since 2012. According to a recent report from Parks Associates, by 2017 accountable care organizations will be providing healthcare for more than 130 million patients. This is due in part to the pressure placed on organizations by the Affordable Care Act to provide quality care while still finding a way to contain costs.
