BCBSTX and the Naveen Jindal School of Management Offering Course on Accountable Care Organizations

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX) and the Naveen Jindal School of Management at the University of Texas Dallas have joined together to offer a six-month online course. It is designed to meet the needs of experienced physicians by providing educational material about Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and the evolving health care marketplace, specifically the shift to a value-based medicine system.

Providers will learn to:

• recognize, assess and mitigate financial and clinical risks associated with ACO formation;
• acquire the vocabulary, definitions and concepts applicable to ACOs and value-based medicine;
• become familiar with key ACO design elements;
• and much more.

We invite you to watch this video from Dr. Paul Hain, Texas Market Strategy President, and read this flier to learn more about the course. Watch for details on the course being offered later this year.
