With all this talk about making patient records more accessible to care teams via the magic of the electronic record, HIPAA and HITECH— the two laws that govern patient privacy — might seem like a bit of a downer.

Currently, there are about 330 ACOs in the United States, and together they have saved Medicare more than $700 million in healthcare spending.
