It is important for any value-based organization to find the right levers that impact the greatest change for their populations, reduce unnecessary spending, and provide the highest quality of care. In order to better understand high savings and top performers in Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP), this analysis combines available performance results from the last three years (2017 - 2019) with cost, utilization, and quality metrics of each participating ACO and their respective savings per capita in the MSSP program.
To use this dashboard, select a measure type or name to compare performance across the savings quintiles, in addition to individual ACO metrics. To learn more about what drives success in an ACO, in addition to high-level trends observed in this analysis, please visit the blog.
