    Government, Insurance Companies, Physicians or Patients?

    I invite all Georgia’s primary care physicians to join Doctors Accountable Organization (Doctors ACO). Together we physicians through Doctors ACO will take opportunity offered by Medicare to spend each Healthcare dollar wisely. This Physicians led organization will create integrated healthcare delivery system. I believe a physician is responsible for ordering treatment for his patient that is best suited to cut waste and develop efficiency in the health care delivery. We primary care physicians will partner with most efficient specialists and hospitals to get best healthcare outcome for our patients. In order to save Medicare for our seniors, primary care physicians not only need to manage patient’s health; they also need to manage healthcare dollars allotted by Medicare to that patient during a year or for the life time.
    A recent report showed that 54 out of the 114 Medicare Shared Saving Program participants similar to our planed Doctors ACO had lower than projected expenditures in their first 12 months while improving patient satisfaction and quality of medical care. Patrick Conway, the chief medical officer for Medicare, said, "On 15 out of 15 quality measures, [ACOs] did better than national benchmarks, as well as on four out of four patient satisfaction benchmarks." Twenty-nine of those ACOs saved enough to generate bonus payments, which totaled $126 million. In addition, the ACOs generated $128 million in net savings for Medicare's trust fund. This experiment may turn out to be the idea which can save future of Medicare and ensure high quality of health care for our seniors.
