MRDH's ACO performance....2013 vs 2014......

About a month ago CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services) released the 2014 performance figures for the nation's Accountable Care Organizations. This is a very difficult/complicated business and most of the organizations do not earn any performance bonuses, so it is completely understandable and expected that Meridian Health Systems ACO would have similiar struggles.

However, it is a little bit interesting to note that MRDH's ACO showed some fairly significant overall improvements in 2014. Both the financial and quality measurements were noticeably improved. The short-term trend of the numbers looks somewhat encouraging.
