Hans was the President and CEO of the Centura Health Integrated Physician Network (iPN) from 2008-2014. The iPN was formed in 2004 when a small group of independent practices and physicians in the North Denver and Boulder area of Colorado began implementation of a common/enterprise wide EHR to drive quality and clinical performance improvement as one of the first clinically integrated networks of independent practices in the nation. In six years, the iPN grew to over 260 providers represented in 25 different multi-specialty practices across 45 separate practice sites. Over 120 of these providers are primary care physicians, all certified by the NCQA as Level 3 Patient Centered Medical Home providers, the largest number in Colorado.

It is partnered and sponsored by Colorado’s largest not for profit healthcare system – Centura Health. Practices include both primary care and specialty practices, including a large Federally Qualified Health Center – Clinica Family Health Services practicing in 5 locations. Practices currently include Family Practice, Internal Medicine, Ob-Gyn, General Surgery, Neurosurgery, Orthopedics, Pulmonology, Cardiology, and Reconstructive Plastic Surgery. The practices are integrated through population based quality initiatives, benchmarking for quality and patient satisfaction and sharing of best practices.

The iPN supported its many members in single signature payer contracting, IT/EHR and CQI implementation and support, quality performance reporting and analytics, care coordination and also provided a variety of MSO services to help improve practice financial performance and productivity. As a developing ACO in the Colorado market, it has negotiated and implemented several payer and employer agreements, with included shared savings and quality metrics integral to annual performance objectives.
