Impact evidence
Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.
Programs described in its return (1)
- $67,512 spent. Data on Accountable Care Adoption: The Institute supported the development of first of its kind data breaking down the geographic location of accountable care delivery models by state and Congressional district. This data shows where clinicians and their patients are experiencing accountable care. This is important because unlike insurance coverage, beneficiaries do not enroll in accountable care delivery models. It can therefore be difficult to determine where beneficiaries are participating in these models and how prevalent these models are. This data demonstrates widespread adoption of accountable care across the country and can lead us to glean other insights about trends and improvements for the future, such as expanding in currently underserved areas. Data on Accountable Care Results: We worked with stakeholders to develop data about the results of accountable care, including research to show that accountable care lowers health care costs and improves health outcomes for patient populations. This is important because it supports our core mission of being able to harness evidence to show that accountable care is an improvement over fee-for-service reimbursement. Convenings: We worked with thought leaders and operators in accountable care companies to coalesce and convene forums to discuss the barriers to effective accountable care. Partnering with philanthropic supporters, we brought together diverse stakeholders to discuss policy and operational barriers to advancing accountable care and began designing solutions that could advance care delivery in the future.
