The NCMS Accountable Care Task Force met this week in Raleigh. The group, chaired by Steven Wegner, MD, discussed the progress of several North Carolina entities that are implementing programs to improve quality and bring greater accountability to the practice of medicine. Many of these groups are in the process of applying to become Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) under the Medicare Shared Savings Program while others are implementing new models of care.
