Healthcare Networks
Healthcare networks are systems that connect various healthcare providers, such as hospitals, clinics, and specialists, to deliver coordinated care to patients. These networks aim to improve patient outcomes by ensuring that all providers involved in a patient's care communicate effectively and share important medical information.
In a healthcare network, patients often have access to a range of services, including preventive care, treatment, and rehabilitation. This interconnected approach helps streamline processes, reduce costs, and enhance the overall quality of care. Examples of healthcare networks include Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs).
