The CIN Accelerator: Hard & Soft Benefits Participating In ONEcare CIN

,

|

This panel featured leaders from Allwell Behavioral Health services, Appleseed Community Mental Health Center, Monarch and Southwest Network, for a discussion highlighting the major cultural shift from siloed physical and behavioral health care to a more integrated, whole-person approach. The panelists discussed outcomes related to the adoption of a Clinically Integrated Network (CIN) such as better coordination, standards of care, and accountability, helping organizations serve patients more effectively. Panelists described opportunities such as investments in electronic health records, new pharmacy processes, and value-based contracting backed by data.

This discussion revealed how working together as a group brings both partnership and competition, creating vulnerability but ultimately benefiting patients through effective referrals and shared resources. Soft benefits of CIN participation showcased the value of a stronger collective voice with payers, improved recruitment, and enhanced best practices, including service delivery in rural communities. Examples discussed included better integration of diabetes programs and psychiatric services, and recognizing the interplay between physical conditions and mental health. Panelists acknowledged ongoing challenges and opportunities for mergers, technology adoption (such as AI), and maintaining innovation whether by joining larger organizations or remaining independent providers.
