Integrated Delivery Systems

Integrated Delivery Systems (IDS) are organized networks of healthcare providers—such as hospitals, clinics, doctors, and specialists—that collaborate to offer coordinated care to patients. The goal is to improve quality, efficiency, and patient outcomes by sharing information, resources, and responsibilities. Think of it as a unified team working together, making sure patients receive seamless care across different services without unnecessary duplication or delays. IDSs help streamline healthcare, reduce costs, and ensure that patients have consistent, comprehensive treatment experiences.
