Abstract

Abstract : Program Description: There are many questions about the role of otolaryngologists in an Affordable Care Organization (ACO). Our team of experts from private practice to academia, from administration to technology, will engage the audience. We will incorporate content that focuses on patient care, quality improvement, and access. We will welcome questions and advice from the audience. Educational Objectives: (1) Make an informed decision whether to join or not to join an ACO. (2) Recognize the pros and cons to such a decision. (3) Manage the risk involved in this decision.
