title: The Texas twist.
abstract: The accountable care organization is becoming the trendy new health care delivery model of the decade. Texas physicians may have an alternative, thanks to legislation passed in the special session of the legislature that ended in late June. Senate Bill 7 authorized physicians, hospitals, and other health care providers to create health care collaboratives, similar to ACOs, to allow traditional competitors to join forces to improve quality of care and lower overall costs.
