Yes, performance measurement is an essential component of the ACO. ACOs must collect a core set of performance measures that will include clinical process measures, outcome measures, and patient experience. Measurement is essential to ensure that appropriate care is being delivered and that cost savings are not the result of limiting necessary care. The ACO must meet quality targets in order to be eligible for shared savings.
