Today's Des Moines Register has an interesting article on Iowa's first accountable care organization (ACO) at Ft. Dodge's Trinity Regional Medical Center. Trinity is part of Iowa Health System. You can find the article HERE.
The article presents an example of care provided to one cardiac patient, them explains the ACO concept. It goes on to present arguments from both supporters and critics of the ACO concept.
Side Note: On June 1, 2012 the Des Moines Register is changing it's subscription model. Therefore, I'm not sure if this link will be valid after that date.
