Providers & Facilities
PARTNERING FOR BETTER SURGICAL CARE.
At Hinkapin Health, we believe better surgical care begins with the right physician and the right facility.
Our provider relationships are built around quality, outcomes, patient safety, experience, appropriate site of care and overall value because the right choice can vary by procedure and by patient.
Our goal is to build a high-value surgical network with partners we can confidently recommend.
QUALITY COMES FIRST
Our evaluation is specialty-specific and site-specific. The factors that matter for a joint replacement may be different from those for spine surgery, general surgery, GI or another specialty.
For facilities, we consider factors such as:
Patient Safety
Infection Rates
Unplanned Transfers
Readmissions
Patient Experience
Procedure Appropriateness
For physicians, considerations may include:
Training & Credentials
Board Certification, When Applicable
Procedure Experience
Surgical Volume
Complication Rates
Infection Rates
THE RIGHT SITE OF CARE FOR THE RIGHT PATIENT
Hinkapin considers the procedure and the individual patient's needs when helping determine an appropriate site of care.
The decision is guided by the patient's needs.
MORE THAN A PRICING NETWORK
Hinkapin is focused on building a high-value surgical network, not simply a network of lower-priced providers.
Our approach brings together:
QUALITY
+
OUTCOMES
+
APPROPRIATE SITE OF CARE
+
PATIENT EXPERIENCE
+
TRANSPARENT PRICING
When these elements work together, patients can receive more coordinated care while employers, health plans and other healthcare partners gain greater value from their healthcare spend.
