There are also tremendous financial benefits to practices that change how care is delivered.

July 2019 is a big month for the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP). This value-based payment program is going through its biggest overhaul since the first MSSP accountable care organizations (ACOs) launched back in 2012. The revamped program, called Pathways to Success, requires ACOs to take financial risk on the cost of care for their patients much more quickly than in the past. The first Pathways ACOs get started on July 1 of this year. Caravan Health, the leader in accountable care for community health systems, is helping several new Pathways ACOs get their start.

The Medicare Shared Savings Program requires providers to take risk on the overall cost of care for their patients. To succeed in a risk-based payment model, providers must focus on implementing new population health services that transform the way they deliver care.
