Is Your Organization Truly Clinically Integrated?

What if you could transform healthcare quality and reduce costs simultaneously? Join us in this riveting episode as we welcome Dr. Will Faber, a family practice doctor and former hospice director, to unravel the complexities and potentials of Clinically Integrated Networks (CINs) in healthcare, particularly for hospice and palliative care providers. Dr. Faber shares his wealth of experience, shedding light on how these legal entities empower independent providers to collaborate effectively, meet Federal Trade Commission criteria, and stand strong against larger, for-profit healthcare entities.

Creating a successful CIN is no small feat. Listen to Dr. Faber discuss the critical steps beyond basic mergers, from establishing robust legal and operational frameworks to developing clinician-led governance structures. We emphasize the importance of a unified culture, inclusivity, and collaborative goal-setting in fostering true integration. Dr. Faber also highlights the rewarding nature of this endeavor and the importance of a supportive, non-punitive environment to achieve high-quality outcomes.

As we shift focus to driving quality within CINs, Dr. Faber explores the evolving landscape of healthcare goals, from the triple aim to the quintuple aim. We delve into the dynamic interplay between large organizations and disruptive innovators, and discuss the impact of for-profit motives on hospice care quality. Finally, we underscore the importance of measurement in leadership and management, sharing thought-provoking insights from industry experts on how effective metrics can lead to positive, tangible results in healthcare. Tune in for an episode packed with valuable insights and actionable strategies for building and sustaining high-quality, cost-effective healthcare networks.
