A Novel Pharmaceutical-ACO Collaboration: the Merck/Heritage Provider Network Open Innovation Challenge

Aman Bhandari, PhD Arnaub Chatterjee, MHA, MPA Sara Holoubek, MBA Brian Powers, BA Jonathan Gluck, JD Sachin H. Jain, MD, MBA

As a result, accountable care organizations (ACOs) are dedicating considerable focus to developing the infrastructure and tools needed to help patients manage their chronic conditions. This is a significant departure from traditional care-delivery models and will require provider organizations to develop new partnerships and embrace new methods.
