Accountable Care Organization Formation – a master’s-level thesis by Dr. Rami Saydjari in completion of an MBA in health care administration.

An accountable care organization (ACO) is a healthcare organization that ties provider reimbursements to quality metrics and reductions in the cost of care. ACOs in the United States are formed from a group of coordinated healthcare practitioners.

Dr. Saydjari’s master’s thesis focuses on ACO formation with an emphasis on the rural environment.
