Accountable Care Organizations Market 2015 Outlook and Implications for Suppliers and Providers

DALLAS, October 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

ReportsnReports.com adds 2015 Accountable Care Organization Outlook: Implications for Suppliers and Providers market research report of 191 pages to the healthcare segment of its online business intelligence library. Now past its infancy as a movement, some analysts predict that more than 200 million Americans will be covered by an ACO by 2016. More than 700 ACOs are operational today, more than double that in 2012. Complete report is available at http://www.reportsnreports.com/reports/300176-2015-accountable-care-organization-outlook-implications-for-suppliers-and-providers.html .

ACOs (Accountable Care Organizations) have the potential to have a major influence on how we pay for health care in the U.S. and what we actually pay for. Roughly one-fifth of our economy is tied to the delivery of health care, and if ACOs succeed in reigning in costs and delivering higher quality care, other health care businesses will be affected in one way or another. Whether you're in the business of manufacturing pharmaceuticals or medical equipment, or treating patients in a hospital or at home, it's crucial that you understand the increasing influence of ACOs and how they can affect your bottom line.

ReportsnReports.com is pleased to announce the addition of this latest report: 2015 Accountable Care Organization Outlook: Implications for Providers and Suppliers. Anchoring this project is a research panel of 129 ACO executives, (96 percent senior management or C-level). While panelists helped inform the report overall, a chapter is dedicated to a recent study completed in June. In it you'll find answers to the questions below, and more.

• How do ACOs view pharmaceuticals, home health and other suppliers and their ability to provide quality care?
• What tools are most important-and effective-at reducing hospital readmission rates?
• Which partners are most important and effective at helping ACOs keep costs in line?
• What kinds of discussions, relationships and contracts are ACOs involved in with various suppliers and providers?
• Which specific suppliers and providers do ACOs trust most to engage in a business relationship?

Influential Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) mentioned in this research report include Abington Health, Advocate Health, Arizona Care Network, Atrius Health, Baylor Quality Alliance, Beacon Health LLC, Beth Israel Deaconess Care Organization, Carolinas HealthCare System, Dartmouth-Hitchcock, HealthPartners / Allina Health, Kelsey-Seybold Clinic, Memorial Hermann, Ochsner Accountable Care Network LLC, Optimus Healthcare Partners, Partners HealthCare, Physician Organization of Michigan and UCLA Health ACO.
