ACO stakeholders are coalescing around two operational pressure points: improving MSSP performance through disciplined care management/physician engagement and modernizing quality reporting infrastructure as CMS continues pushing digital measurement. Recent NAACOS case examples show high-performing ACOs emphasizing aligned incentives, data-driven outreach, and specialist engagement, while Leavitt Partners argues that HL7 FHIR-based reporting could reduce administrative burden and make ACO quality measurement more timely and usable for population health management (NAACOS success factors; FHIR quality reporting). At the same time, kidney care stakeholders are warning that Medicare ACO design must better account for CKD/ESKD complexity, underscoring a recurring MSSP tension: broad population accountability can create savings opportunities, but only if risk adjustment, attribution, specialty integration, and quality measures adequately protect high-cost, clinically complex populations.
