1.How would you go about deciding whether to accept the government's offer?
2.Would you want to lead the ACO or just be a part of it?
3.Would you argue for or against accepting the federal offer? Why?
4.If you wanted to proceed and lead the effort to form an ACO, how would you coordinate with the other local hospitals and providers?
5.How might you change the way care currently is organized in your community, given the new financial incentives embedded in a capitated rate?
