The Institute for Accountable Care (IAC) is an independent, Washington, DC–based nonprofit organization established in 2018 to advance accountable care through research, analytics, policy analysis, and performance improvement collaboratives. The private company is located in the US. It partners with the National Association of ACOs (NAACOS) and is funded by foundations and government grants to support Medicare accountable care organizations (ACOs) and health systems navigating value-based payment and care delivery reforms. IAC conducts program evaluations using advanced statistical methods to assess the impact of accountable care models on health outcomes, spending, and shared savings. Its focus areas include home-based care for complex patients, care management, reducing low-value care, and addressing social determinants of health. The organization develops tools such as a home-based care ROI calculator and MSSP benchmarking framework to help ACOs and providers understand financial methodologies and optimize care redesign initiatives. Through learning collaboratives, IAC facilitates knowledge sharing among over 500 organizations, supporting the implementation of clinical programs like hospital at home, community paramedicine, and telehealth integration. It also provides resources to prepare hospitals for Medicare’s upcoming mandatory bundled payment model, offering analyses, educational content, and expert briefings. IAC’s research includes modeling federal policy impacts, analyzing specialist engagement in value-based care, evaluating telehealth use during COVID-19, and developing claims-based quality measures.
