Main Results:

  • Ten essential steps for ACO development were delineated: assessing readiness, team assembly, legal/organizational structuring, leadership formation, human capital alignment, operational assessment, financial readiness evaluation, IT integration, partner relationship building, and community engagement.
  • Successful implementation of these steps facilitates ACO readiness for the contemporary healthcare market.

Conclusions:

  • A comprehensive, ten-step strategy is crucial for establishing a successful Accountable Care Organization (ACO).
