Austin Regional Clinic (ARC) is thrilled to announce that our Accountable Care Organization (ACO), in partnership with Ascension Seton Health Alliance, placed in the top 6% of Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) ACOs nationwide with an overall quality score of 93%.
ARC's shared goal
Our quality score was based on performance measures for patient satisfaction, promotion of preventative health checks, chronic disease management, and providing access to coordinated medical and surgical care leading to prevention of costly avoidable ER visits and hospital stays. These measures have contributed to top-notch patient satisfaction and quality scores throughout the organization, leading to health outcomes for all patients.
Thanks to these outstanding results and our continued engagement as an ACO partner, Ascension Seton Health Alliance awarded ARC the Health Value Award for our contribution towards shared savings for Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and our ACO.
