For this Assignment, you examine the services and initiatives for an ACO in your state. To prepare: Select an ACO from the website ACOs in Your State in this week’s Learning Resources. Identify evidence-based services/initiatives that the ACO is using. Note: To determine if services/initiatives are evidence-based, go to http://innovation.cms.gov/ Consider the following: Is the ACO using services/initiatives that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recognize and for which they offer reimbursements? How does the ACO market these services/initiatives to increase health care consumerism?
