Accountable care organizations (ACOs) are one of the more interesting and (perhaps) highest impact components of the 2010 Federal health care bill. Neuroradiologists should examine them carefully for opportunities to participate and contribute to ACOs as well as to understand the potential threats. Although there are questions about the viability of the proposed models, neuroradiologists should not assume this is a fad. All specialists should pay close attention to the evolution of ACOs. It seems likely that many of their features will come to pass during the coming decades with substantial impact on the profession.
责任医疗组织（ACO）是 2010 年联邦医疗法案中较有意思且（或许）影响最大的部分之一。神经放射学家应仔细研究这些组织，寻找参与和贡献的机会，并了解潜在的威胁。尽管对于提议的模式的可行性存在一些疑问，但神经放射学家不应认为这只是一时的潮流。所有专家都应密切关注 ACO 的发展。在未来几十年，它们的许多特征很可能会出现，并对该行业产生重大影响。
