What is achs in nursing?

ACHs, or Accountable Care Organizations, are a model of healthcare organization in which a group of healthcare providers work together to coordinate care for a group of patients. In this model, providers are held accountable for the quality and cost-effectiveness of the care they provide to patients.

In nursing, ACHs can help improve communication and collaboration among nurses, physicians, and other healthcare professionals. This can lead to better coordination of care, reduced duplication of services, and improved outcomes for patients.

Nurses in ACHs may have a greater role in care coordination, patient education, and population health management. They may work closely with other members of the healthcare team to develop care plans, monitor patient progress, and ensure that patients receive the appropriate services and follow-up care.

Overall, ACHs can help improve the quality of care and reduce costs by promoting a team-based approach to healthcare delivery and incentivizing providers to focus on the collective health of their patient populations.
