Integrated Delivery System (IDS)

An Integrated Delivery System (IDS) is a coordinated network of healthcare providers and facilities that work together to deliver comprehensive patient care. It often includes hospitals, clinics, doctors, specialists, and support services, all sharing resources and information to improve efficiency, quality, and patient outcomes. By collaborating within an IDS, care is more seamless, reducing unnecessary tests and delays, while ensuring patients receive appropriate and consistent treatment across different providers. Essentially, an IDS aims to create a unified healthcare experience, making it easier for patients to receive coordinated, high-quality care.
