It also includes the ACO Participants from 2015 to 2018.

The Shared Savings Program ACO participants are groups of doctors and other health care providers who voluntarily work together with Medicare to give high-quality service to Medicare Fee-for-Service beneficiaries. ACOs are required to completely and accurately report quality data that are used to calculate and assess their quality performance. In addition, in order to be eligible to share in any savings generated, an ACO must meet the established quality performance standard that corresponds to its performance year. Participation in ACOs creates incentives for health care providers to work together voluntarily to coordinate care and improve quality for their patient population. Since the 2011 Shared Savings Program final rule, updates have been made to the Shared Savings Program quality measures, scoring, and quality performance standards have been made in subsequent Shared Savings Program and Physician Fee Schedule rules.
