Marymount University will host a symposium on new Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations that deal with assisting hospitals and healthcare providers with coordination of care for Medicare patients through Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs). The event will be held on Tuesday, December 4, at 6 p.m., at Marymount’s Ballston Center, 1000 North Glebe Road, Arlington, VA.

Under the Medicare Shared Savings Program, ACOs will be rewarded for lowering healthcare costs while meeting quality standards. The expert panel will discuss the benefits and disadvantages of ACOs on healthcare, current and future healthcare spending costs, and patient quality.
