Cost pressures associated with ageing populations and an increase in the numbers of people with chronic illness in the United States creates a need for more accountable and integrated forms of delivering health services.

The United States spends more on healthcare than the next-highest 10 countries combined. With the growing popularity of ACO programs, it is expected that number of lives covered by ACO would grow at a CAGR of around 20% during 2016-2020, and the number is projected to reach around 76 Million by the end of 2020.
