Posted on February 2nd, 2009 No Comments »
Community Health Network ranks 9th on the 2009 SDI Integrated Healthcare Network list, a listing of the nation’s 100 most highly integrated health care organizations.
“We at Community Health Network take a great deal of pride in being in the top ten of the most integrated health care systems in the country,” says Bill Corley, Community Health Network president and CEO. “This is a tribute to the employees throughout the network who have worked a great deal to achieve alignment and integration of the many parts of our network.”
The 2009 SDI Integrated Healthcare Network (IHN) 100 list was published in the January 26th issue of Modern Healthcare, and Community Health Network was the only Indiana health care organization to make the top 100 list. Dedicated to providing innovative data analytics to the health care industry, SDI is recognized as a leader in executing, delivering and analyzing complex health care information solutions. The SDI IHN 100 report is regarded as the nation’s premier rating system of the nation’s top health care networks on performance and degree of integration.
This report identifies the top 100 IHNs among 570 non-specialty, local and regional networks in the U.S., while evaluating each health network’s ability to operate as a unified organization in the following eight categories: integration, integrated technology, contractual capabilities, outpatient utilization, financial stability, services and accesses, hospital utilization and physicians.
The fact that Community has achieved this ranking boasts well for the size of this organization, especially considering its many hospitals and health care facilities, including: Community Hospitals East, North and South in Indianapolis and Community Hospital Anderson; The Indiana Heart Hospital; Indiana Surgery Centers; Community Physicians of Indiana; Community Home Health Services; MedCheck urgent care centers and MEDPOINT express convenience clinics; employer health services; nursing homes; and other health care facilities.
Though the network is made up of many parts, it has succeeded in providing consistent, high quality, safe, special and timely care across the organization. Through relationships and a cohesive, integrated framework, Community’s physicians and staff continue to deliver exceptional services to the communities it serves.
