title: Accountable care organizations: an improvement over HMOs?
abstract: The ACO model is considered an important achievement of health care reform legislation. However, ACOs might not be able to deliver on their promises in part because of the slowly recovering economy. It is also not clear how much money will be saved, and not all hospitals plan to participate.
