This paper aims to bring clarity to the conceptual confusion between community and population health, which currently impacts progress in both research and clinical practice.

Recent election results raise questions about the future of healthcare programs and the coordination of patient care in our nation.

Considerable attention has been devoted to managing populations around the value proposition. Children, as a population, have received little attention in the accountable care organization (ACO) realm. This manuscript contrasts some of the similarities and differences between adult and pediatric ACOs.

This manuscript describes a structural alternative that builds upon the vision of the ACO, positions it centrally in the healthcare experience, and overcomes current limitations in delivering care.

We observed small-area variation in computed tomography scan use for inpatients in New York State, even after controlling for relevant patient and hospital characteristics.
