THINC hosted a series of educational events to explore a new model of care delivery and reimbursement. THINC’s ACO Insights, supported by a grant from the New York State Health Foundation, was a training and technical assistance program that offered physician practices, health plans, hospitals and other health facilities in the Hudson Valley an opportunity to explore the key concepts of and consider the development of accountable care organizations.
Over the course of the webinar series, four domains of knowledge were covered.
- Leadership and Operations
- Engagement
- Quality Measurement and Improvement
- Financing and Legal
