The Seton Healthcare Family has taken a major step toward developing a new model for delivering health care in Central Texas by partnering with Austin Regional Clinic (ARC) to create Seton Health Alliance, an Accountable Care Organization (ACO).
An Accountable Care Organization is a relatively new term that describes a system where healthcare providers --- including primary care physicians, specialists, and hospitals --- work together and accept collective responsibility for the cost and quality of care delivered to a population of patients.
The Seton Health Alliance ACO will be open to community physicians and other provider partners, and plans to expand its partners and programs over the next several years. The Alliance is one of 32 integrated health networks nationwide selected by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to participate in the federal government's Pioneer ACO program.
