McAuley Health Partners ACO, L.L.C. (MHP) intends to distribute achieved shared savings to support the Triple Aim, care delivery redesign, invest in the infrastructure and technology of the organization and provide distributions to Accountable Care Organization (ACO) Provider/Suppliers to properly align incentives to promote high quality, value-conscious care.
MHP’s shared savings philosophy and methodology is designed to accomplish the following objectives:
- Assure the sustainability of ACO supportive infrastructure (population health IT tools, care management and personnel)
- Reward performance and improvement over time
- Achieve the goals of the Triple Aim: better care for individuals, better care for populations and lower growth in expenditures
- Program and resource development to address gaps in care and the disease burden of the population (e.g. Hierarchical Condition Categories (HCCs)
To address the objectives outlined above, our Governing Body/Board of Managers shall approve the following shared savings distribution formula for each performance year.
If shared savings are earned in a given performance year the following methodology will occur:
Step 1 Infrastructure/administrative operating costs are paid out of shared savings as approved by the board
Step 2 65% of remaining shared savings distributed to ACO and ACO Participants
Step 3 35% of remaining shared savings are distributed to the hospital
