Expansion Based on the information provided in the scenario and on an outside review of the relevant literature, students are to prepare a formal recommendation to the CEO on whether or not it makes sense to move forward with the home health service line given that they are a part of an Accountable Care Organization. In putting the recommendation together, the students should consider emerging healthcare trends, crucial role of care coordination, chronic disease management, competitors, risks, and financial incentives, sharing of cost savings in the ACO model, and whether a vertical or horizontal integration makes sense for the system. Finally, take into consideration any potential antitrust concerns, if applicable. The recommendation needs to be well supported, logically presented, and thoroughly vetted.
