Accountable Care Communities in Rural: Laying the Groundwork in Humboldt County, California
Link
Description
Describes how Accountable Care Communities (ACCs) employ a
unified approach to improving the health of a population
and reducing costs, by emphasizing preventive health and
wellness efforts, as well as promoting collaboration among
community-based organizations, social services, and the
local health care system. Examines the ways in which the
ACC model may help rural communities face challenges
associated with poorer health outcomes, transportation
difficulties, and shortages of healthcare providers.
