Tom Szostak, Healthcare Economics Manager for Toshiba America Medical Systems discusses Accountable Care Orgtanizations, one of the key government-based healthcare delivery reform measures from the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) is intended to improve the delivery of healthcare through new payment models. One of the delivery model initiatives supported by the ACA is the creation of Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). ACOs will increase the value of healthcare for all patients and lead to improved outcomes and quality of care while reducing cost.
