Accountable Care Organization (ACO)

An accountable care organization (ACO) is a healthcare organization characterized by a payment and care delivery model that seeks to tie provider reimbursements to quality metrics and reductions in the total cost of care for an assigned population of patients.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accountable_care_organization

Essendo un'entità tipica e prettamente americana, non puoi tradurla. Io lascerei in inglese ma MAIUSCOLO, inserendo un'eventuale spiegazione subito dopo (se non è già spiegata nel testo).

What's an ACO?

Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) are groups of doctors, hospitals, and other health care providers, who come together voluntarily to give coordinated high quality care to their Medicare patients.
http://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Medicare-Fee-for-Service-Payment...

“The promotion of accountable care organizations (ACOs), a new health care delivery and payment model designed to curb rising medical costs while improving quality, is one of the most important elements of the Affordable Care Act,” write the authors. “Hundreds of health systems across the country have already adopted the ACO model and in so doing have taken on a new role of cost containment. What may be less clear to them is that they are taking on new liability risks.”

Ecco qui un esempio in italiano in cui il termine non viene tradotto:

In questo contesto di cambiamento ha iniziato a muovere i primi passi un nuovo modello di erogazione di assistenza di primo livello, le Accountable Care Organization (ACO). Un modello assistenziale rivolto esclusivamente a quella parte di popolazione americana beneficiaria dell’assistenza sanitaria “gratuita” offerta da Medicare e Medicaid (entrambi programmi assicurativi statali che la Sanità Americana offre a tutti i cittadini ultrasessantacinquenni e pazienti dializzati senza limite di età, e a gruppi di popolazione a basso reddito come bambini, donne in gravidanza, disabili, anziani indigenti e malati di AIDS)
