The team at Rural Health Value released a new resource, Introduction to Rural Clinically Integrated Networks (CINs), that defines CINs, describes common CIN characteristics, and explores the unique value-based care advantages a rural CIN may bring to its members. The conclusion of the brief is that a collaboration of independent rural health care organizations, incorporated as a CIN, can achieve the scale and develop the infrastructure necessary to successfully participate in value-based care and payment opportunities. The Rural Health Value team is funded by the Federal Office of Rural Health Policy.
