The New Jersey Medicaid Accountable Care Organization Business Planning Toolkit

To guide New Jersey communities in designing ACO demonstration projects, the Center for Health Care Strategies (CHCS) developed The New Jersey Medicaid Accountable Care Organization Business Planning Toolkit. The toolkit, made possible through The Nicholson Foundation, provides step-by-step guidance and templates to facilitate ACO planning. Content is organized within three sections: (1) Building the ACO Framework; (2) ACO Nuts and Bolts; (3) Constructing the ACO. While the toolkit is geared toward New Jersey, the guidance and practical templates can help Medicaid stakeholders across the country in developing ACO models aimed at improving care and controlling costs for beneficiaries with complex needs.
