Montefiore Accountable Care Organization’s Provider Engagement Strategy

This case study describes the strategy used by Montefiore Accountable Care Organization (ACO) to engage physician practices in quality improvement activities. The strategy consists of two parts: (1) a pair of assessments for new physician practices interested in joining the ACO and for existing ACO participants in order to identify opportunities and infrastructure needs for quality improvement and (2) ongoing information-sharing and technical assistance for practices to help them improve their performance on NGACO Model quality measures and implementation of health information technology and population health management tools and applications.
