Physician-Led Networks That Drive Immediate Savings
We help hospitals escape fee-for-service traps with physician networks that deliver immediate cost savings.
Our proof? We turned one hospital’s employee health plan into a $60M success story – all while improving patient care and keeping doctors satisfied.
Any of these sound like you?
Struggling with expensive overhead costs?
Staff, supplies, and compliance draining your margins?
Can’t keep raising prices to stay profitable?
The traditional business model just isn’t sustainable anymore.
Worried about switching to value-based care?
Trying to figure out how to make the transition without losing money?
Here’s What Actually Works
We’ve built a physician-led model that transformed employee health spending at Christ Hospital — taking a $42M annual spend in 2012 and generating over $60M in cumulative savings while improving care quality. For systems with larger employee health plans, the savings potential scales proportionally. For example, a system with a $200M annual health spend today could potentially see over $100M in savings, which would be proportionally half of what we achieved at Christ Hospital. This proven approach can stabilize margins and strengthen physician relationships.
Why do Healthcare Systems Struggle to Stay Profitable?
Healthcare systems across America face a critical turning point.
Operating margins continue to shrink while pressure mounts to transition to value-based care models. Hospital CEOs and executives find themselves caught between maintaining current operations and preparing for an uncertain future.
Yet some health systems are thriving in this environment. They’ve discovered how to improve margins while simultaneously preparing for value-based care — without disrupting existing operations or alienating their physician partners.
Their secret lies in a strategically implemented Clinically Integrated Network (CIN) that aligns physician incentives with system goals. It delivers immediate financial returns while building long-term value-based capabilities.

Client Spotlight
The Christ Hospital CIN Success Story: From Vision to $60M in Savings Challenge
Challenge
In 2012, The Christ Hospital needed to prepare for the healthcare industry’s shift toward value-based care while maintaining financial stability and physician engagement.
Solution
Under Dr. TJ Redington’s leadership, the hospital established a CIN focused initially on employee health plan spending. The initiative was physician-led, identifying and engaging high-cost patients while engaging primary care providers. The approach used existing data systems and brought together both employed and affiliated providers under one unified strategy.
Results
The program has delivered documented savings across eight consecutive years of operation, with provider distributions maintained every year since the program began. Quality metrics have shown steady improvement year over year, while the system has maintained exceptional care standards throughout.
“TJ Redington has successfully directed Christ Hospital’s Clinically Integrated Network for 8 years. The consistent financial savings have allowed a physician distribution in each year of operation. The CIN’s durability of cost containment and high performance over this period has been exceptional.”
