Accountable Care
& Care Coordination
As a proposed pillar of community health merging ambulatory primary care with multi-specialty, hospital, rehabilitation and other healthcare entities and needs, accountable care organizations (ACOs) will be linked through innovative EHR and health IT platforms to achieve seamless and comprehensive medicine.
Greenway Customers are ACO and PCMH-ready
An accountable care organization is defined as a delivery reform model with the overall goal to improve care quality and reduce total cost of care to 
Medicare patients. It seeks to link provider reimbursements to quality metrics in order to achieve this goal.
The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) is an inventive program that focuses on improving primary care. The certification program is outlined by a set of clear standards, empowering practices with information needed to personalize care to their patients, allowing providers to work in teams to coordinate care.
