CVN

CVN History

CHC Collaborative Ventures dba Collaborative Ventures Network (CVN) was organized in 1997 as an Arizona not-for-profit integrated services network under guidelines consistent with the Affiliation Policies of the Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA) Bureau of Primary Health Care. Since that time it has sought and pursued appropriate opportunities to fulfill its corporate purpose of promoting and facilitating the development and delivery of culturally accessible, geographically available and economically accessible Community-Based quality health care.

As CVN has evolved over time, it has become critically important for the company to foster and facilitate collaboration in:

Developing generally accepted policies and procedures related to clinical guidelines, care coordination, and population health management that promote quality and cost effectiveness in the delivery of integrated health care services;
Enhancing value-based care delivered through community health centers, emphasizing medical/behavioral health care integration, utilization management, case management, quality improvement, and patient satisfaction; and
Implementing health information technology (HIT), including the adoption of electronic health records (EHRs) and population health management tools that can provide actionable data, aggregate and compare performance and provide clinical/quality results reporting for patients served in Health Center communities.

In July 2016, Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA) awarded CVN a three-year $2.25 million Health Center Controlled Network (HCCN) grant. Currently there are 20 health centers, serving patients across 120 sites, participating in the HCCN. To further emphasize the shared objectives of the health centers participating in this grant project, CVN has named this group Healthy Communities Collaborative Network (link). In October 2016, the Board of Directors authorized the offering of Participating Provider Agreements for CVN’s clinically integrated network thereby launching the next step for the development of its statewide patient-centered primary care network, Healthy Arizona Network (link).

CVN also has had a long-standing relationship with the Arizona Alliance for Community Health Centers (AACHC) (link), the state’s primary care association since 1985. AACHC and CVN leverage resources, including subject matter experts, education and peer networking. An Administrative Services Agreement (ASA) between AACHC and CVN supports additional economies through shared space, HIT and software licensing, office functionality, and the cross-utilization of personnel.

CVN Governance

CVN’s corporate membership is comprised of eighteen (18) community-based, nonprofit or public, primary health care organizations operating in Arizona. In accordance with its Bylaws, CVN is governed by a Board of Directors, comprised of one representative of each Member organization and the President of the AACHC Board of Directors. The CVN Board of Directors has the responsibility for fulfilling the company’s mission, developing business strategy, and providing oversight of CVN management.

Healthy Communities Collaborative Network

Clinically integrated provider network providing comprehensive primary care to patients across Arizona

The demand for value-based care, clinical transformation, and alternative payment methodologies has never been stronger. The Healthy Arizona Network gives community health centers the opportunity for statewide clinical integration and collaboration to include:

Adopting clinical protocols and/or clinical guidelines for the delivery of ambulatory care;
Developing clinical guidelines in ambulatory care that address clinical integration, care coordination, and chronic disease case management;
Benchmarking clinical measures;
Monitoring clinical performance through quality assessment reviews;
Advancing value-based quality improvement strategies;
Gaining operational efficiencies through clinical practice transformation; and
Providing value through these collaborative efforts and the economies of centralized services.

From this foundation of collaborative efforts, Healthy Arizona Network is able to provide evidence of value-based care and a strong collective effort when contracting with third-party payors.
