The physician-led team works to develop new care models, apply best practices, monitor and share performance with a focus on improving health while honoring patient preferences.
Data is shared freely. Quality goals are shared, aligned and consistent across the system.
Physicians and practices maintain their private status and operational autonomy while sharing in the resources and benefits of the CIN capabilities including; improved coordination among practices, transparency in data sharing, goal setting, and collaborative clinical process design and decision making.

Benefits of a Clinically Integrated Network
Clinical Integration
Physicians and care providers share clinical data, review that data together and work to improve outcomes
Enhanced Clinical Decision-Making
Sharing clinical data and patients’ records enables enhanced clinical decision making that encompasses the patient’s full story.
Physician-led Accountability
Additionally, setting protocols and clinical guidance happens within the governance of the CIN which is physician-led. That means that physicians who are a part of the CIN are also a part of setting the accountability for the CIN to improve outcomes, provide outstanding experiences, and lower costs.
