To support reform efforts that foster the creation of community-based entities accountable for comprehensive healthcare services, the American Medical Group Association is bringing together the leaders of high-performing, healthcare delivery systems to show you a roadmap to becoming an Accountable Care Organization (ACO).

Under the theme “Creating High-Performing Care Organizations,” this year’s Institute for Quality Leadership Annual Conference will feature presentations that will provide healthcare leaders with the information needed to implement care coordination best practices; align governance, structure, and incentives; and establish performance improvement, measurement, and monitoring systems to become a high-performing care organization that qualifies as an ACO. In addition, we will explore how virtual and vertical integration and other partnership strategies may facilitate your group’s evolution toward this model. If your group has an innovative strategy that is moving it toward an ACO, we invite you to submit a proposal for consideration to be included on the agenda. To secure your spot, please review this information and submit your proposal by Friday, January 31, 2010.

What is the Institute for Quality Leadership?
The Institute for Quality Leadership (IQL) is devoted to improving the quality of care delivered in the U.S. healthcare system through the advancement of knowledge and the education of healthcare professionals. Its programs are designed to help healthcare organizations improve clinical quality, patient safety, service, and operational efficiency, and to share best practices in patient care. The IQL is supported by the American Medical Group Association (AMGA) and its 501(c)3 philanthropic affiliate, the American Medical Group Foundation (AMGF). For more than 50 years, the AMGA has been the most effective voice in advocating for the multispecialty medical group model of coordinated care delivery. The members of the AMGA are world leaders in quality improvement and have embraced the need to transform the healthcare system. Through innovation and leadership, these medical practices are rising to the challenge put forth by the Institute of Medicine to redesign patient care delivery systems to provide patients the care they need, want, and deserve. To support their efforts, the AMGF was formed as the philanthropic arm of the AMGA to develop grant programs, quality awards, research and education programs and to provide support for initiatives that exemplify the continuing quest for quality care. The AMGF is the primary supporter of the Institute for Quality Leadership Annual Conference and the AMGA’s quality improvement activities.
