The World Congress 2nd Annual Leadership Summit on ACOs and PCMHs will convene providers and other stakeholders to discuss strategies for participating in an ACO framework that offers shared savings payments for improving the quality of care and costs. Real-world, case study examples of organizations currently participating in ACO pilots will be featured on the agenda and the Summit faculty will offer concrete, specific steps that others must take throughout the process of planning and implementation.

• Thought Leaders: Payers, providers, government, academia and consultants giving case studies on commercial ACOs which highlight the importance of Medical Homes as a foundational cornerstone.
• New Perspectives: Many of the faculty presenting for the first time at a national ACO and PCMH meeting.
• Coverage of the Final CMS Shared Savings Regulations: A senior advisor from CMMI will offer a thoughtful analysis on how to participate in this and other innovative Medicare programs.
• Real World, Practical Perspectives: Case study examples of organizations currently participating in Accountable Care Organizations and Patient-Centered Medical Homes pilots will be featured.
• Two Specialty Workshops: The Business of Planning and Launching a Provider Sponsored ACO and Using Analytics to Support ACOs and Medical Homes: Developing Your Ability to Capture and Share Meaningful Data designed to provide participants with an unmatched education
