In 2012, Hennepin County in Minnesota formed an accountable care organization (ACO) to improve care for its Medicaid beneficiaries, many of whom require a range of costly health and social services. Since then, the ACO, Hennepin Health, has been singled out as an emerging leader among safety net health systems. This project will evaluate the effectiveness of Hennepin Health in coordinating medical and nonmedical health interventions, improving outcomes, and controlling costs. The findings will help determine the model’s suitability for replication in other communities serving large numbers of Medicaid patients with high needs.
