The Roadmap to Community-Integrated Health Care
Through centralized, coordinated processes, Community-Integrated Health Networks provide a unified and consistent approach to program delivery.
What are the key benefits of a Community-Integrated Health Network?
- Provides a uniform, consistent way for potential older adults to learn about and access programs and receive services
- Increases program efficiency by reducing duplication of efforts
- Appeals to health care entities, as there is one organization, rather than several, with which to interface and communicate
- Can act on behalf of its partners to negotiate and sign contracts with the health care sector
- Provides a framework to increase program reach and can respond to the volume demands of health plans or health care systems by aligning the efforts of many partner organizations
