OIG: ACOs Need to Get Better at Health IT

That’s according to a report from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG).

OIG officials interviewed providers and staff from six different ACOs to reach their health IT conclusion. Participating organizations were chosen based on their performance, geographic variation and recommendations from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid (CMS) and the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT (ONC). Additionally, all six ACOs had three or more years of experience.
