Seton Health Alliance is Central Texas' first accountable care organization (ACO). ACOs offer an exciting new model for health care delivery. I am charged with helping to develop the profile of Seton Health Alliance, prepare all related collateral and communication materials and develop strategies to engage with physicians, patients and other stakeholders. We collaborate with Austin Regional Clinic and Lone Star Circle of Care, as well as the Center for Medicaid and Medicare Services. A recent collaboration with Aetna has resulted in the launch of an insurance product--Aetna Whole Health-Seton Health Alliance. It is being successfully used by more than three major employers in the Austin region.
