National Rural Accountable Care Consortium Chief Transformation Officer and webinar leader Lynn Barr says that this webinar will provide much needed insight on this important topic for rural providers, laying the foundation for future population health payments.

Barr explains, "Rural providers are being asked to join Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and Clinically Integrated Networks (CINs) at a record pace.  However, many people are confused about whether they should join an ACO or a CIN. The reality is that most rural ACOs are CINs, which both provide a development platform to create a high value primary, tertiary and specialty network."

She adds that the webinar will help rural providers better understand the difference between the two, and offer recommendations on how to approach these relationships.

Mark your calendar for this new webinar on Rural Strategy:  ACO's or CIN's on Tuesday, March 24, 2015.
