Minnesota Accountable Health Model Test
As a testing grant Minnesota is trying to determine: • Can we improve health and lower costs if more people are covered
by Accountable Care Organization (ACO) models?
• If we invest in data analytics, health information technology, practice facilitation, and quality improvement, can we accelerate adoption of ACO models and remove barriers to coordinated/integrated care?
• How are health outcomes and costs improved when ACOs adopt Community Care Team and Accountable Communities for Health models to support integration of health care with non-medical services, compared to those who do not adopt these models?
