About the

Neighborhood Health Care Network

 

The Neighborhood Health Care Network is a shared management services organization supporting 14 community health clinics in Minneapolis and Saint Paul metropolitan area.  By providing a variety of services on a group basis, the Network maximizes cost-efficiency for its members and allows them to focus more on direct patient care.
The Network provides shared services in five primary areas:

Clinical quality and disease management.  The Network provides performance measurement, program evaluation, an annual patient satisfaction survey, and leadership on clinical quality improvement projects.

Information technology. The Network hosts and maintains state-of-the-art practice
management software for member clinics—five of which have moved to a shared computer network. In 2007, the Network began planning a shared Electronic Health Record (EHR) system, which will be implemented in 2009.

Managed care and joint contracting.  The Network negotiates and maintains contracts for its members with public entities, a major health plan, and vendors.

Community outreach. The Network helps uninsured individuals and families find affordable health care services and insurance information through its statewide
489-CARE referral line.

Joint fundraising. The Network raises funds for collaborative activities and for
member clinics to support general operations and the growing costs of uncompensated care.

The 14 clinic members of the Network operate 46 clinic locations in the Twin Cities,
serving more than 145,000 people annually. These clinics primarily serve low-income
people—more than half without any health insurance—who often get left behind by the traditional health care system. To effectively serve such a diverse population, member clinics go beyond traditional medical services to provide transportation, translation, social services and culturally appropriate health care and education.

For over 12 years, the Network and its member clinics have played a critical role in
reducing health disparities and meeting the evolving needs of increasingly diverse communities in the Twin Cities.
