Week 4 Assignment

Assignment: Supply of Primary Care Workforce

Scenario: Your hospital has an opportunity to participate with an Accountable Care
Organization (ACO) contract with 100,000 ACO patients. The ACO patient population
expects about 10,000 avoidable hospitalizations per year with a potential savings of
$100 million, which will be shared 50% revenue to the insurer and 50% revenue to the
hospital. The ACO patient population will require an average of 6 office visits per year,
and 600,000 total office visits will need to be supplied by your primary care workforce.

To prepare for this Assignment:

Based on the scenario and financial data provided by the course instructor, conduct a
financial projection (revenues, expenses, and profit) which analyzes the efficiency in the
supply of health services.

The Assignment:

recommendations on the following: 1) number of physicians and nurse practitioners; 2)
reimbursement method: salary or fee-for-service; 3) recommendations for financial
incentives to address challenges of supplier induced demand and ensure efficiency.
Interpret the net profit from the ACO contract based on your recommendations. Support
your recommendations with rationale, including how the financial calculations impacted
your recommendations.
