What is an ACO program manager?

An ACO Program Manager is a healthcare professional responsible for overseeing and coordinating the activities of an Accountable Care Organization (ACO). Their primary role is to ensure that the ACO meets quality, cost, and care coordination goals by managing projects, tracking performance metrics, and facilitating communication between providers. They also play a key role in implementing strategies to improve patient outcomes and ensure compliance with healthcare regulations. ACO Program Managers work closely with physicians, administrators, and insurers to promote value-based care.
