FAQs

An Accountable Care Organization (ACO) is a group of healthcare providers and ancillary professionals working together to manage and coordinate care for their patients. An ACO has four primary goals:

1) Improve patient outcomes
2) Improve patient satisfaction and engagement
3) Improve provider satisfaction and engagement
4) Improve appropriate utilization by being proactive in getting patients access to care

The ACO staff review records and reach out the assigned patients to ensure that annual visits are taking place and that you are staying on top of any screenings for medical conditions you may have or be at risk of developing. They also work with your physicians to eliminate any barriers to care you might experience.

No. We encourage our patients to see the providers with the best possible outcomes but the choice is entirely up to you, provided they are covered by your insurance.

The ACO staff and physicians all follow closely the rules and regulations determined by the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). If we are helping you retrieve documents, everything is sent securely and confidentially.

No. The care coordination and support are provided to you free of cost.

"I Can Now Say I'm Cancer Free"

I have always eaten fairly healthy and exercised regularly. I was shocked when, after my annual mammogram, my doctor told me I had stage 0 breast cancer. Thank goodness for the ACO's care coordinator nurse that reached out to remind me of and schedule my appointment. I can't imagine if I had forgotten about that mammogram. Throughout my treatment, my different doctors worked together as one team. I can now say that I'm cancer free!

"I Was Scared for the Future"

When I was diagnosed with diabetes 3 years ago, I was scared for the future. I didn't even know I was apart of an ACO, but Broward Health's team gave me the care, information, and support I needed. My care team was specific to my needs. Working with my general practitioner, nurses, and dietitians, I was able to learn about my lifestyle changes that helped me get off off two of my diabetes medications and prevent further complications.
