More Than Money: Motivating Physician Behavior Change in Accountable Care Organizations

ConclusionsMotivating behavior change within ACOs goes beyond financial incentives. ACOs are using a broad range of motivators, including creating ways to make a greater impact on patients and opportunities to be a more effective physician. Overall, it does not appear that ACOs are deploying the full range of available motivators. This suggests an opportunity to develop more sophisticated and wider‐ranging portfolios of motivators to drive behavior change.
