Topic: Supply of health services
Order Description
Note: The Instructor will post the document for this Assignment by Day 1 of Week 4.
To deliver health care services an ACO needs to create a competent workforce that can provide health care to the patients that are in the ACO. Some integrated ACO entities already have employed physicians and mid-level providers that receive salaries from the organization whereas other non-integrated ACO entities need to invest in external relationships with independent physicians and other providers. Since ACOs do not have managerial control over non-employed providers additional controls and incentives may be necessary to ensure that efficiency is maximized. ACOs also need to consider the number and mix of specialists (e.g. family practice vs internal medicine) and mid-level providers (e.g. physician assistants and nurse practitioners) in delivering primary care services that can promote value. Maximizing value requires appropriate workforce decisions on supply and incentives to encourage providers to minimize costs. For this Assignment examine the Week 4 Assignment document and consider the efficiency in the supply of health services.
To prepare for this Assignment:
Review the scenario and Week 4 Assignment document provided to you by the Instructor. Based on the financial data conduct a financial projection (revenues expenses and profit) that analyzes the efficiency of the supply of health services.
Note: This Assignment will be graded using this rubric: Document: Week 4 Assignment Rubric (Word document)

Interpret the net profit from the ACO contract based on your recommendations. Explain the rationale behind your recommendations including the impact made by your financial calculations.
