Community physician leaders put in more than 700 hours of time to help plan and develop a CIN that would benefit the Charlotte area. The resulting network will be physician-led in collaboration with the health system and independent providers.
It will also focus on specific initiatives for specific patient populations, including management of chronic disease and preventive screenings, reducing costs, improving efficiency, reducing readmissions and enhancing quality overall.
“This partnership will help healthcare providers across the region provide the best possible care to individual patients as well as broad populations,” Roger Ray, MD, executive vice president and chief physician executive for Carolinas HealthCare System, said in a statement. “This region is home to some of the nation’s best healthcare providers and combining that experience with the breadth and depth of our collective resources, we will enable the participating groups in the CIN to efficiently gather, share and utilize clinical data to identify and adopt patient-focused, evidence-based best practices.”
