SDI has been ranking integrated systems since 1994 and this year’s Top 100 was chosen from nearly 600 non-specialty regional integrated health networks from around the country. The rating system analyzes each IHN’s performance level in the following categories: hospital utilization, financial stability, physician participation, services and access, contractual capabilities, out-patient utilization, integration and integrated technology. The eight categories consist of thirty-three weighted attributes that SDI has determined to be the key indicators for assessing the current and future success of an IHN.
