In this episode of Edge Perspectives, host Trevor DaRin is joined by Strategy Intelligence expert Mahaya Walker, Senior Director, to share research on clinically integrated networks (CINs). Drawing from interviews with some of the country's most successful networks, they break down what they learned about governance, physician alignment, accountability mechanisms, and the variety in how CINs operate. The conversation challenges common assumptions and offers practical insight for strategic planning teams looking to get more value from their CINs.
