Who We Are

The mission of the Valley Integrated Provider Network for its physician members, in collaboration with their hospital partners, is to improve the health of the community through the efficiency and effectiveness of the care they deliver, monitoring outcomes across the healthcare continuum and focusing on improvement of processes and appropriate utilization to ensure quality.

Clinical Integration (CI) is a physician-led clinically integrated program that will improve quality and efficiency, and allow for new avenues for payer reimbursements. This network is a physician-driven, physician-led, and physician-managed effort to develop and maintain active and ongoing clinical initiatives designed to control costs and improve the quality of inpatient and outpatient care. The CI network of physicians will work collaboratively, share data and hold each other accountable for performance against physician developed and agreed upon clinical performance and efficiency standards.

Clinically Integrated (CI) Networks

Hospitals, physicians and other medical providers working together to improve the quality of healthcare are often referred to as “Clinically Integrated (CI) Networks.” This team-based approach helps health providers communicate and collaborate on patient care. Valley Integrated Provider Network (VIPN) is such a CI Network.

CI Networks share information, technology and best medical practices in order to serve patients with the highest level of care and efficiency. Connectivity through technology allows providers to share information, eliminate unnecessary tests and coordinate patient care. The focus is on delivering the most appropriate level of care to patients.

Through innovative care management programs, exceptional care continues after the patient leaves the doctor’s office. Care teams are essential to helping both physician and patient navigate the most complex of health challenges. Teams of health professionals work closely with patients to assist with doctor’s orders, medications and communication with their physician’s office.

Valley Integrated Provider Network securely shares patient information among its provider participants as allowed under the law as an organized health care arrangement.

Valley Integrated Provider Network also participates in other organized health care arrangements. Those other arrangements may include hospitals, health care providers, and health plans that share information to improve the quality of care and reduce costs.
