Given changing reimbursement incentives and collaborative models for physicians and hospitals, Greg Mertz, managing director of Physician Strategies Group, LLC, discusses why the Congressional proposal "Better Care, Lower Cost Act" of 2014 is financially more attractive to providers than ACO models and whether he thinks it will be passed. He also deconstructs CMS' recently reported financial results for such health reform delivery initiatives as Medicare ACOs, Pioneer ACOs, and the Physician Group Practice demonstration, and weighs in on which, if any, model he considers the most sustainable. Greg Mertz helped healthcare organizations assess which value-based healthcare delivery model is right for their organization during "Physician Alignment: Which Model Is Right for You?," a February 19th, 2014 workshop at 1:30 p.m. Eastern.
