Michigan ACO developing Personalized Care at Home Program

The Michigan Pioneer ACO (Accountable Care Organization) is working with the Detroit Medical Center on a Personalized Care at Home Program to better serve patients living with chronic illnesses. The program provides physicians a way to enhance care for patients between appointments and after hospitalizations. Patients in the program work with case managers in collaboration with their primary care physician. The care is designed to help patients manage pain, medication and symptoms, thus preventing emergency room visits and hospitalizations.
