ACOs (Accountable Care Organizations) work in sync with the Affordable Care Act (colloquially called Obamacare) to redefine the landscape of healthcare in the United States. ACOs aim to reduce healthcare costs for the provider (physician practices/hospitals) and the payer (insurance firms) while also benefiting patients. ACO is a value-based model of healthcare that is in stark contrast to the fee-for-service payment model that is widespread in the U.S. today.
