Repositioning from IPA to CIN

As the healthcare industry moves slowly but inexorably toward a more value-based reimbursement environment, many independent physician associations (IPAs) are looking at becoming clinically integrated networks (CINs). The difference between these two entities is not a matter of mere semantics. Instead, the distinction gets to the core of which model better allows physicians and other healthcare providers to enter into value-based contracts with confidence and perhaps become full-fledged population health managers. 

The transition, however, is not easy nor is it without risks. This article will hopefully clarify much of the confusing nomenclature used in this area and provide the reader with a valuable roadmap to guide them through this often very complicated transformation process.
