07 May Unlocking the Power of Data for Clinically Integrated Networks (CINs) with IMAT Intelligence

Clinically Integrated Networks (CINs) are transforming how care is delivered across the U.S. healthcare system. These collaborative provider networks are designed to deliver more efficient, affordable, and coordinated care to patients.

But as the landscape continues to shift toward value-based care, CINs face mounting pressure to leverage health data in smarter, more integrated ways.

In this post, we explore what makes CINs essential to modern healthcare, why data integration is critical to their success, and how the new IMAT Intelligence platform is purpose-built to help CINs thrive.

Achieving the Triple Aim

A CIN brings together healthcare providers, hospitals, physician groups, and health systems to collaborate on improving quality with the goal of reducing costs and enhancing the patient experience. CINs help providers align around shared clinical goals, unify data strategies, and negotiate value-based contracts with payers.

There are several types of CINs, including:

Joint Venture Physician-Hospital Organizations (PHOs): Partnerships between hospitals and physicians.

Health System Subsidiaries: CINs operating within an Integrated Delivery Network (IDN).

Independent Practice Associations (IPAs): Physician-only CINs that remain unaffiliated with a specific hospital.

When built on a strong data infrastructure, CINs empower their members to:
• Align on evidence-based care delivery.
• Share actionable insights across systems.
• Improve clinical outcomes and operational efficiency.

The Need for Scalable Health Data Solutions

To fulfill their mission, CINs must manage increasingly complex clinical and claims data across multiple practices, EHR systems, and geographic regions. Without the right infrastructure, that data becomes fragmented and underutilized.

Key capabilities CINs need from their data solutions include:

Enhanced Coordination: Bi-directional data exchange ensures providers can access real-time patient information across the network.

Quality Improvement: Shared analytics surface care gaps, inform best practices, and support continuous quality improvement initiatives.

Cost Containment: Access to comprehensive data enables CINs to reduce duplicative services and align resources to high-impact interventions.

Population Health Management: Aggregated data helps CINs identify high-risk patients and deliver proactive, targeted care.

Digital Record Accessibility: Complete, searchable patient records support provider workflows and documentation.

Administrative Efficiency: Standardized data sharing and performance tracking simplify compliance and reduce manual reporting burdens.

In short, CINs depend on clean, connected, and actionable data to achieve clinical and financial success.

Introducing IMAT Intelligence: Purpose-Built for CINs

IMAT Intelligence is our next-generation Health Data Intelligence Platform, a scalable, SaaS-based solution built to meet the real-world data challenges CINs face every day.

This isn’t about shiny dashboards or chasing buzzwords. IMAT Intelligence is designed to solve operational challenges head-on, whether it’s closing care gaps, enabling bi-directional data sharing, or streamlining quality performance reporting.

Here’s how IMAT Intelligence supports CINs:

Real-Time Data Exchange and Interoperability: Seamlessly aggregates structured and unstructured data across disparate EHRs and care settings.

Predictive Analytics at the Point of Care: Powered by Reveal BI, providers can act on insights in real time.

Modular, Cost-Effective Pricing: Tiered pricing allows CINs to only pay for what they need, including optional add-ons like eHealth Exchange connectivity and SDOH data access.

Turnkey Implementation: Pre-configured dashboards, regulatory reporting tools, and built-in compliance features reduce deployment time and cost.

Full-Text Search Capabilities: Unlock insights from clinical notes, lab reports, and more, enabling smarter care coordination.

Whether you’re managing value-based contracts, closing care gaps, or improving documentation performance, IMAT Intelligence delivers the flexibility and intelligence CINs need to succeed.

Built for Real Results

CINs were created to achieve higher standards of care at a lower cost. But doing that at scale requires reliable, integrated data. IMAT Intelligence meets CINs where they are by offering a smarter, more affordable alternative to rigid legacy systems.

If your CIN is ready to turn data into action, it’s time to explore how IMAT Intelligence can help you move forward with confidence.
