Clinical Integration Tools
The ability to deliver effective, efficient care across a disparate group of employed and affiliated providers is the critical foundation for creating a successful Accountable Care Organization (ACO) and assuming financial risk for the health of its patient population. However, U.S. antitrust laws generally prohibit otherwise competing physicians from jointly negotiating contracts with employers and health plans. Creation of a legally defined clinically integrated network enables providers to collectively negotiate without the risk of federal sanctions for price fixing. Clinically integrated networks* must show that they improve quality and efficiency in certain defined ways and perform certain specified activities. Generally, they must: - Promulgate consistent clinical protocols across the network with the goal of achieving measurable quality and efficiency targets
- Monitor the physicians’ and the network’s progress in achieving the targets
- Have a collective financial investment in the infrastructure to achieve the targets
