Fact Based List:

Craig Behm, Joseph Pollman and John Haughton, MD: 4 factors driving ACOs failure:

  1. Doing too much too soon, which may show up in “plumbing” problems—the IT systems and data exchange
  2. Doing too little—not watching their transitions of care
  3. Not enough physician and staff buy-in
  4. Have not yet developed aligned incentives, which require different cultural values, such as team-based care instead of physicians performing in silos
