About our networks

Working together for better care

St. Luke's Health Texas Health Network and St. Joseph Health Partners are physician-led Clinically Integrated Networks (CIN) that bring together primary care physicians, specialists, ancillary providers, and hospitals in an effort to meet the future needs of health care. Health care providers will work together to improve the health of populations, improving care for individuals while lowering the cost of that care. Through agreements with payors and employers, health care providers have the opportunity to reach more patients and to shape this emerging system. These physicians will have access to data that will assist them in meeting this goal. When we all work together, we can all succeed!

Our mission

Our health networks were established with the mission of reducing medical expenses while improving the quality of care and increasing patient satisfaction. These CINs aim to achieve this goal by providing patients with highly coordinated health care services in a setting where clinical decisions are based upon physician leadership and best practices. These CINs seek to establish a patient-centric delivery model supported by all participants.

Collaborative opportunities for physicians

Imagine maintaining the freedom and autonomy of your own practice while being able to connect with other like-minded health care providers who are committed to providing superior patient care, utilizing metrics and best practices in medicine. St. Luke's Health Texas Health Network and St. Joseph Health Partners allow you to do just that. These CINs provide an atmosphere focused on creating opportunities. Together with like-minded physicians, you will be able to expand your patient base and pursue a higher level of patient care by promoting common goals. Through our network approach, you will be able to focus on improving your patients’ health while having a partner to increase your network and the quality of services provided. The CIN model also benefits you through:

• The opportunity to earn incentives for optimal performance, based on metrics;
• Improved compliance with evidence-based medicine guidelines;
• Streamlined physician payor contracting; and
• Greater efficiency overall in the delivery of healthcare.

With added efficiency and the ability to reach the people who need you the most, your practice can be more fulfilling than ever.
