title: Developing a CIN for strategic value.
abstract: Clinically integrated networks (CINs) allow health systems and independent physicians to join in a mutually beneficial effort to adapt to new payment models. Key issues during planning for a CIN include organizational structure and governance, payer contracts, and incentive funds distribution. In assessing the network's potential financial impact, CIN planners should think in terms of managing total cost of care rather than in terms of revenues for care delivered.
