Physician Clinical Integration
Clinical Integration (CI) aligns patients, providers, and hospitals in a way that offers greater access to care, higher clinical quality, and long-term cost control. Physicians and hospitals have the ability to thrive in a competitive health care market on the basis of quality care, not unit cost alone.
How it will Work
Select Health Alliance will combine hospital data with ambulatory data to help physicians monitor and manage their performance. We will accept multiple means of data submission and apply custom data inputs, initiative guidelines, and performance benchmarks. Physicians will be able to access and track their own performance and parse patient data and aggregate data.
What Clinical Integration Is
Clinical integration with Select Health Alliance is a program developed and managed by physicians, to improve the quality and efficiency of patient care. It is a network of physicians (independent and employed) who can collectively negotiate with payers and health plans.
Clinical Integration is Not
Clinical integration with Select Health Alliance is not physician employment, capitation, or a program led by Baptist Memorial Health Care.
