Implications of Global Experiences with Accountable Care

Project overview

This project builds upon previous work regarding the implications of global experiences with accountable care for the United States’ healthcare system with the aim of accelerating uptake of successful experiences with accountable care and other innovations in the US by promoting the exchange of best practices and knowledge. We identified practical lessons that can be adopted by a wide range of policy makers and payers in the US to accelerate health care reform domestically. The team was awarded a follow-on project to accelerate the uptake of successful policy, payment, and delivery innovations from abroad and identify US healthcare systems and/or communities to implement major components of or fully integrated delivery and payment reforms.
