University Hospitals Accountable Care Organization

The University Hospitals Accountable Care Organization (UHACO) aims to support providers who invest in practice innovation and care redesign to better coordinate care and reduce expenditures, while improving the quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries. Our Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) consists of groups of doctors, hospitals, and other healthcare providers who collaborate to give coordinated, high-quality care to people with Medicare, focusing on delivering the right care at the right time while avoiding unnecessary services and medical errors.
