What is your #ACOInspiration?

By Pranam Ben

At The Garage, we often ask ourselves what inspires us to strive to develop the best population health management platform on the market. The answer - from across our executive leadership to our engineers and developers - is always helping you, our clients, become high-performing organizations. This, however, raises another question: what inspires you?

As you're caring for patients or managing your ACO or other clinically integrated organization, what inspires you to uncover those key clinical or social connections that help you deliver optimal outcomes and a better experience for patients? That inspiration might be the grateful responses you receive from patients, the support from your team, your family, or even a quote from someone you admire.

Are you up to the challenge?
To find out what inspires you, we're launching a fun contest this month. We're calling it the #ACOInspiration challenge. Here's how it works: in the coming weeks we want you to share on Twitter what inspires you or your team using the hashtag #ACOInspiration. Tell us or show us in the most creative way possible what motivates your organization to uncover hidden connections that help you deliver better outcomes for your patients and stronger financial performance for your ACO.

Your tweets could be something meaningful a patient told you, a care-quality accomplishment your ACO recently achieved, a photo of your team, a quote, a vacation picture - whatever inspires you. Don't forget to include the #ACOInspiration hashtag, so we don't miss it.

The most relevant and creative tweet voted on by our team will receive a fabulous prize: $500 to be donated to the charity or non-profit of your choice. The #ACOInspiration challenge contest ends on August 1, so don't delay.

We can't wait to see what inspires you. If you need additional inspiration, please read my recent article in Accountable Care News on how origami changed my perspective on population health management.
