ICSI is recognized nationally as one of the leaders in transforming health care.
| Neutral Convener Because ICSI is trusted and provides a safe environment, members can discuss issues difficult to address in any other setting, like the focus on the cost of care. |
Example ICSI is a communications partner of the Choosing Wisely® campaign to spur discussions on unnecessary tests and procedures. |
“This is ICSI’s sweet spot: Facilitating dialogue among provider members, health plans and other stakeholders to improve the health, experience and affordability of care.” Brian Rank, MD, Executive Medical Director, HealthPartners Medical Group |
| Concept to Spread ICSI keeps members at the forefront of new ideas so they don’t have to invest as much time and money on innovation. ICSI is the place for members to take a concept, pilot it and prove its worth before spreading further. |
Example ICSI has led the charge on integrating behavioral health into primary care, ensuring appropriate diagnostic imaging, reducing avoidable readmissions and fostering the spread of palliative care into primary care. |
“We’re an ICSI wannabe. ICSI helped us spread the wonderful care it developed for treating patients with depression in primary care so we can provide the same quality of care.” Sue Vos, Program Director, Michigan Center for Clinical Systems Improvement |
