InterCommunity Health Network Coordinated Care Organization (IHN-CCO) is committed to improving the health of our communities by building on current resources and partnerships within the tri-county region. IHN-CCO and community partners, through the DST, welcome innovative ideas and collaborative strategies to ensure all individuals have equal opportunities to be healthy where they are born, live, learn, work, play, worship and age. IHN-CCO is committed to improving the health of our communities through the Quadruple Aim of reduced costs, better health, improved access and improved provider and staff satisfaction.
Through embracing the values of equity, inclusion, innovation, respect and collaboration, the DST envisions a health care system rooted in community knowledge, values and innovation. The DST is committed to fostering an inclusive, engaged, collaborative space where innovative and transformational ideas are shared and supported with the intent of advancing health equity, centering community perspectives and improving health outcomes for diverse communities across the Benton, Lincoln and Linn County region.
Transformation is the constant process of change. Encouraging transformation can happen in lots of ways, like creating new relationships, community partnerships, and connections outside of the traditional health services setting to improve community health and well-being.
Transformational projects look at health and well-being from an “upstream” point of view. This means taking on ideas that are focused on prevention, not just treatment, as well as breaking down barriers to improve health.
Being transformational and innovative also means taking a different approach and being willing to risk trying something new. Even projects that struggle or fail provide valuable learning opportunities. Transforming systems takes time and supporting innovative ideas now can lead the way towards a healthier future.
