Did not ACA put incentives in place specifically for outcome tracking? I was just talking with a guy at MIT working on post-stroke outcome tracking and automated scoring simply through the myriad of sensors on a high-end smartphone, and he mentioned ACA now or in the future will pin a significant portion of reimbursement on outcome tracking, forming the basis for his business model.

They are intended to. Even if ACA isn't the ultimate form, most healthcare reform involves paying for performance rather than procedures and this implies outcomes tracking of some kind. You've got some serious chicken/egg problems though
