Engaging Specialists In Accountable Care: Tailoring Payment Models Based On Specialties And Practice Contexts
The cornerstone of value-based healthcare lies in Accountable Care Models, crucial for comprehensive, high-quality patient care. Despite their pivotal role, specialty care providers face limited engagement in these models.

Tailoring strategies for diverse specialty types within Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) is essential for successful engagement and effective patient care across specialties.
