Co-creator of Accountable Care Organizations speaks about the wasteful health care spending in the US and what to do about it
Elliott Fisher is a second generation Salzburg Global Fellow. He follows in the footsteps of his father Roger, co-author of the best-selling negotiation handbook Getting to Yes and a Fellow of five Salzburg Global sessions in the 1980s.
The younger Fisher, director of the Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice and John E. Wennberg distinguished professor of health policy & medicine at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College, came to Schloss Leopoldskron for the first time in March as a participant in Session 548 | The Promise of Data: Will this Bring a Revolution in Health Care?
He spoke to Salzburg Global about his role in setting up the Accountable Care Organizations, designed as a solution to the wasteful spending on health care taking place in the US, and now providing care to 25 million Americans.
