Since 2016, an accountable care organization (ACO) has been working with independent providers and healthcare practices to deliver care to Medicare patients nationwide. Despite their commitment to high-quality care, the ACO struggled with key challenges in network expansion, recruitment, and financial performance.

The Challenges:

• Missed Growth Targets with In-House Recruiters: The ACO’s internal recruitment team was unable to meet growth targets, resulting in missed opportunities to expand their network and improve service delivery.
• Limited Provider Recognition: The ACO was not well-known to many providers, which hindered their ability to attract high-quality partners and form new relationships.
• Static Earnings with Existing Providers: With the same providers in place, the ACO faced stagnant earnings and struggled to optimize revenue from existing partnerships.
• Inefficient Recruitment Processes: Recruitment efforts were inconsistent, slow, and often inefficient, delaying network expansion and affecting the ACO’s growth trajectory.
• Lack of Data to Drive Recruitment: The ACO had no centralized way to collect and analyze recruitment data, which meant they couldn’t adapt their strategies based on insights or changing market conditions.
