Intersect leadership has extensive experience constructing Clinically Integrated Networks (CINs) and Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) from the ground up. This allows us to efficiently assess your circumstances, goals, and objectives then design a framework that facilitates performance. While improving quality, outcomes, and efficiency are foundational to all healthcare providers, related goals can vary widely based on the type of organizations forming these entities. The Intersect team has worked with independent physicians, large multi-specialty practices, hospitals, large hospital systems, CINs, and ACOs and can efficiently help clients determine how best to proceed to improve these programs.

Intersect is adept at strategically utilizing these entities to enhance core business models, finding stakeholder synergies to ensure alignment, and driving performance around mutual goals. Designing or modifying the activities of these entities to ensure alignment with health system core business objectives is paramount to ensuring durable solutions are achieved. Recognizing and prudently developing incentive arrangements within regulatory confines to create this alignment are important early steps for success.

To this end, Intersect Healthcare Solutions can help whether you are interested in:

• Developing a CIN/ACO or improving current performance
• Developing a regional or statewide collaborative
• Designing the necessary infrastructure for success
• Growing strategic provider alliances
• Improving the value chain along the care continuum
• Network optimization

We have helped organizations maximize financial opportunity by:

• Optimizing value-based care contracting strategies
• Implementing a focused medical economics program
• Accessing population-based payments through CMS’s Alternative Payment Models
• Utilizing waiver opportunities under CMS programs

Many organizations have invested in CIN & ACO entities and activities to lead industry change. IHS can help create an environment for these entities to systemically contribute to organizational goals. A full program reboot is not necessary, instead a focused Intersect assessment can reveal key pivot points to unleash the promise of these activities. Wherever you are on this journey, Intersect can help your organization advance on goals.
