As Minnesota’s only clinically integrated network dedicated exclusively to kids, we provide a high standard of care and strive to keep costs low through best practice sharing, transparent data, coordinated care and active relationships with families.
Participants include independently owned and Children’s Minnesota owned practices along the entire care continuum of primary, specialty and hospital-based care. Recognizing the breadth and depth of our reach to pediatric patients in this community, we are mutually accountable and aligned toward the goal of highest quality, cost-effective care.
Children’s Health Network manages a robust performance improvement program, designed by our physician leadership, that focuses on clinical outcomes, best practice guidelines, cost of care and utilization. We partner with our member clinics to continually elevate these metrics to ensure best practice standards and outcomes for children.
We use a robust data set to compile and analyze quality and cost opportunities across our network. This data is shared with our member clinics to equip them with patient-specific engagement opportunities to improve patient care and cost.
The network works with our clinics to engage commercial and public payers in contract arrangements that prioritize pediatrics and create opportunities for value-focused reimbursement.
The CHN team provides support to member clinics on operational issues, including policy updates, referral management and coding guidance.
The Children’s Health Network Contact Center offers nurse triage and medical answering services. Read more about the services our Contact Center offers.
