Abstract
In this policy brief, we present the findings of a survey of 27 rural ACOs focusing on characteristics important to their formation and operation. We find that a majority of responding ACOs were formed from pre-existing integrated delivery systems and had physician and hospital participants with prior risk-sharing and quality-based payment experience. In addition, physician groups played a leading role in the formation and management of the ACOs.
