LEADING THE WAY TO CLINICAL INTEGRATION AND BEYOND
IU Health Quality Partners
IU Health Quality Partners is a physician-led and managed clinical integration program, offering the resources, expertise, and experience to provide the best practice delivery and highest level of patient care while eliminating inefficiencies to reduce costs. The program currently has over 2,500 specialty and primary care physicians throughout the state, both independent and employed by participating health systems.
This physician group is offered to employers to use as part of their health plan as a way to improve care for employees while helping to control their healthcare costs.
What is clinical integration?
Clinical integration is a new way for physicians to work together like never before. They collaborate within their specialties to identify and adopt specific clinical measures and best practice guidelines. IU Health Quality Partners then uses sophisticated software tools to capture and analyze clinical data relative to these quality measures to help physicians measure their performance and compliance with the program.
Clinical integration is also the first step toward implementing an Accountable Care Organization initiative which experts anticipate will be the future of healthcare delivery.
