QLink Physician Network is focused on a new model of healthcare delivery known as clinical integration which helps to align physicians, hospitals and payers which is a collaborative effort that spans the continuum of care, improving quality and efficiency in both the inpatient and ambulatory settings.
QLink Physician Network’s goal is to build on the core strengths of clinical quality and service excellence to take healthcare delivery to a higher level of performance at a lower cost.
QLink Physician Network is operated by a governing board the majority of whom are physicians. Along with our governing board, QLink has a robust committee structure that executes on our quality and payer initiatives.
