Question description

Managing patient access has become both expensive and problematic. Discuss how a physician would manage patient access to care and contrast this with how an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) manages patient access to care. Discuss the pros and cons of each. Clearly outline the type of restrictions and limits of the new ACO paradigm.
Rely on peer-reviewed journals, the Federal Register, and the Library of Congress for your research and incorporate at least one new law or regulation (from the last twenty-four months) that addresses this issue.
