CINs (Clinically Integrated Networks) are groups of healthcare providers that work to improve care, reduce costs, and maintain quality standards. They create structures to manage value-based contracts, allow providers to demonstrate value, and integrate physicians and health systems. Key elements of CINs include collaborative physician governance, a focus on population health through data sharing and care management, health IT infrastructure, and aligning provider incentives through value-based contracts and shared savings. Providers commit to engaging with the network, focusing on quality metrics, and using resources to standardize care. In return, CINs provide opportunities for shared savings contracts and support providers through committees and performance feedback.
