Article Synopsis
- The paper explores how understanding social identity and group dynamics can help organizations effectively engage physicians in organizational change.
- It examines four different organizations and their unique strategies for engaging physicians, highlighting the importance of relationships and identity in these interactions.
- The findings suggest that tailored approaches to physician engagement, considering existing inter-group relationships, can lead to better collaboration and integration within healthcare settings.
This cross-site comparison of the early experience of four provider organizations participating in the Brookings-Dartmouth Accountable Care Organization Collaborative identifies factors that sites perceived as enablers of successful ACO formation and performance. The four pilots varied in size, with between 7,000 and 50,000 attributed patients and 90 to 2,700 participating physicians. The sites had varying degrees of experience with performance-based payments; however, all formed collaborative new relationships with payers and created shared savings agreements linked to performance on quality measures.

- The study explores how various accountable care organizations (ACOs) interpret and implement the concept of integration among diverse healthcare provider groups.
- Findings suggest that each ACO's approach to integration is influenced by existing strategies for managing social identities, leading to unique interpretations rather than a unified entity.
- The research concludes that ACOs can effectively promote functional integration without enforcing a communal identity, proposing "soft integration" as a viable alternative to traditional vertical integration models.
