| What is PCHI? |
| Partners Community Healthcare, Inc. (PCHI)
Partners Community Healthcare, Inc. (PCHI) was established in 1994, shortly after the creation of Partners HealthCare System. PCHI is affiliated with more than 1,000 internists, pediatricians and family practice physicians and over 3,500 specialists who provide care to more than 1.5 million patients.
To develop and support this distributed network of physicians and hospitals, PCHI established a management services organization (MSO) that provides the physicians with medical management services, quality improvement programs, data analysis, contracting, information systems and financial expertise. In all of these endeavors, PCHI is committed to enhancing both the physician-patient relationship and the physician experience through innovation in medical practice and collaboration among physicians and our renowned medical centers in pursuit of excellence.
The PCHI network is organized into Regional Service Organizations (RSOs). In each RSO the physicians coordinate medical care for their patients, share in financial risk or performance incentives in managed care contracts, and provide representation to PCHI's decision-making bodies. The RSOs vary greatly in size and structure, ranging from a small RSO of 14 physicians in group practice to a physician organization with more than 250 primary care physicians working in an academic medical center. The physician groups in the PCHI network include:
