ACOs And End-Stage Renal Disease
In October 2015 the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services launched
the Comprehensive End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Care Model, the first
specialty-oriented accountable care organization (ACO) model designed to
serve a specific Medicare subpopulation.
In their June 2022 paper, Darin Ullman and coauthors find that, relative
to a fee-for-service Medicare comparison group and a traditional ACO
group, beneficiaries participating in the model had reduced Medicare
payments
,
hospitalizations, and likelihood of hospital readmission after one year.
"Results of our study suggest that care for patients with ESRD can
improve modestly under fee-for-service Medicare-alternative models
focused on their needs, even under lower-financial-risk structures," the
authors conclude.
Ullman and coauthors discuss several policy implications of their
findings, including that other populations with chronic conditions may
benefit from the testing of a specialty-oriented ACO model
The authors also add that primary care-based ACOs may benefit from
applying CEC Model strategies to high-need subpopulations.

Elsewhere At Health Affairs
Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Elizabeth Alpert and coauthors argue
that developing policies promoting value-based dental care requires a
better understanding about the extent of the oral disease burden
impacting older Americans.
Shantanu Agrawal and coauthors argue that federal measures of drivers of
health
,
such as food insecurity, housing instability, and access to
transportation, are needed to improve health outcomes and address health
inequities.
