Suburban Care Collaborative CIN Overview

Physicians and Advance Practice Practitioners from our Participating Hospitals actively participate in the Suburban Care Collaborative CIN by serving on key committees and by defining / refining the clinical and quality benchmarks that measure their performance.

The efforts of these committees are governed by the Suburban Care Collaborative CIN Board, populated predominantly by Physicians. Suburban Health Organization staff provide executive leadership support, regulatory compliance functions, comprehensive data analytics and facilitative support.

Our Commitment to Patient-Centered Care

We recognize that exceptional healthcare extends beyond clinical excellence—it requires a deep appreciation for the traditions and beliefs of the diverse patient populations we serve. Our network is built on the foundation of cross-cultural awareness, enabling our providers to engage in meaningful problem-solving that resonates with each individual's unique background and perspective.

We understand that effective care delivery depends on our ability to navigate and address language, communication, and other barriers that may prevent patients from accessing the services they need. Through culturally tailored care strategies and community-responsive programming, we strive to create an environment where every patient feels understood, respected, and empowered to participate fully in their healthcare journey.

Our commitment is reflected in our continuous efforts to enhance cultural competence across our network, develop resources that meet the specific needs of our communities, and foster genuine partnerships with the patients and families who entrust us with their care.

 

Our Ultimate Goal is to fulfill the Institute for Healthcare Improvement’s Quadruple Aim of

1. Improving the patient experience of care
2. Improving the health of populations
3. Reducing the per capita cost of healthcare
4. Improving Clinicians’ experience in providing care

We Work to Achieve These Goals By:

• Utilizing meaningful quality measures chosen by Physicians to gain deeper insights into clinical care and to improve the clinical outcomes in the community
• Coordinating and navigating care
• Making care delivery as efficient as possible
• Improving patient outcomes through the deployment of evidence-based clinical guidelines
• Partnering with various insurance providers to drive clinical improvement but using ‘Payer agnostic’ tactics to achieve such improvement.

Operational areas of focus for the CIN include the following:

• Quality Oversight
• Clinical Guideline creation
• Efficiency of Care oversight – monitoring that care is received in the right setting at the right time by the right caregivers.
• Alignment of performance incentives with desired quality outcomes
• Ambulatory care transformation
• Post-acute care transformation
• Regulatory Compliance

Fundamental to these efforts, the CIN is committed to disciplined efforts regarding:

• Communication and information dissemination for clinicians and patients
• A dedication to rigorous implementation and sustainability approaches

 

Suburban Health Organization regards the Suburban Care Collaborative CIN as a learning lab built upon Physician engagement and innovation. As such, we expect that all SHO partner Hospitals and their communities, regardless of their CIN membership, will benefit from CIN initiatives.
