Network Overview & Definitions
Clinical Integration
Clinical Integration is a strategy to improve healthcare quality and value through collaboration among providers and healthcare systems. Orlando Health Network is the region’s largest and highest performing clinically integrated network (CIN) focused on achieving the Triple Aim.
Clinical integration involves coordinating care between all providers, sharing of clinical data from electronic medical records and claims data from payer partners, expanding patient access to care, implementation of evidenced-based medicine guidelines, and streamlining costs across the care continuum.
Value Based Care
Value Based Care (VBC) is a type of reimbursement model which rewards providers for quality performance and cost management relative to predetermined targets, rather than the current model of rewarding increased volumes of care. CINs participate in many VBC arrangements with payer partners collaboratively coordinate care, manage chronic conditions, and drive cost savings.
In 2013, Orlando Health Network launched the first health system-led federal payer VBC arrangement in Florida and the first commercial VBC arrangement in Central Florida. Since that time, Orlando Health Network has continued to distinguish itself as a “Value Leader” by achieving the market’s highest quality scores while simultaneously delivering cost-effective care with all VBC contracts.
Population Health
Population Health is the holistic approach to improving overall health outcomes of a community through implementation of best clinical practices, use of advanced care coordination services, deployment of new and innovative care models, and the consideration of social and economic determinants of health within the population.
Population Health efforts are largely enhanced through effective clinical integration of providers across the community which enables greater provider collaboration, reductions in unnecessary and duplicative care, and expand access to care—ultimately driving higher quality outcomes at a reduced overall spend.
